All U.S. flu vaccines for the 2024-25 season are trivalent – which means three component – vaccines that prevent against three influenza viruses:

  • A(H1N1) virus
  • A(H3N2) virus
  • B/Victoria virus

The CD also recommends that everyone, ages 6 and above, get an updated COVID-19 vaccine. The vaccine helps to protect against severe disease, hospitalization, and death. The FDA recently approved and authorized the 2024-25 COVID-19 vaccine.

Every U.S. household is now eligible to order four free at-home tests.
