For the 2025-2026 flu season, CDC recommends seasonal flu vaccination with single-dose formulations that are free of thimerosal as a preservative for children, pregnant women, and adults.

  • Flu vaccines help your body develop antibodies that protect against flu illness.¹
  • With rare exceptions, everyone ages 6 months and older should get the flu vaccine.²
  • Get a flu vaccine every year because immunity fades over time and flu viruses change, requiring updated protection annually.²
Immunizations are at the center of preventive health intervention.
