What kind of flu vaccines are there?

There are two types of flu vaccines:

1. The “flu shot” — is an inactivated vaccine (containing killed virus) that is given with a needle, usually in the arm. The flu shot is approved for use in people older than 6 months, including healthy people and people with chronic medical conditions.

There are three different flu shots available:

- a regular flu shot approved for people ages 6 months and older

- a high-dose flu shot approved for people 65 and older, and

- an intradermal flu shot approved for people 18 to 64 years of age.
