· Those who wish to avoid flu-related hospitalization or complications.
· Those who wish to enhance protection due to weakened immunity with age.

High Dose Influenza Vaccination is a specialized flu shot designed specifically for adults aged 65 and older. As people age, their immunity system becomes less responsive, making them more vulnerable to serious flu-related complications. The high-dose flu vaccine addresses this by containing 4 times more antigen than the standard flu shot, helping to create a stronger and longer-lasting immune response. This enhanced vaccine is quadrivalent, meaning it protects against 4 strains of influenza – two type A viruses (H1N1 and H3N2) and two types B viruses.

High Dose Influenza Vaccination is administered as a single intramuscular injection, typically into the upper arm. It contains 4 times the amount of antigen as a standard flu vaccine. Each year, the vaccine is updated to match the most likely circulating flu strains. After vaccination, the body takes about 2 weeks to build full immunity.
