Flu Vaccine for People 65 Years and Older: Fluzone High-Dose
There is now a special flu vaccine for people who are 65 and older, called Fluzone High-Dose.
As the name implies, Fluzone High-Dose contains more antigen than regular flu vaccines - four times the amount, to be precise. This vaccine was specifically designed for older people, as immune systems are less responsive as people age. The higher dose of antigen should ensure a higher response (meaning more protection against the flu).
It looks like there were more of the typical side effects (sore arm, headache, low fever) after the Fluzone High-Dose, compared to the regular flu vaccine. However, there were not more serious adverse events.
Be aware that there is also a regular Fluzone, so if you are interested in the Fluzone High-Dose, make sure you are very specific in this request.
Flu-Killer: No vaccine needed with me, no matter the quality of the vaccine. You can not imagine how easy it is to fight the flu. That is why I asked for $50 million.
