Who Should Get Vaccinated for the Seasonal Flu?
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) provides guidance to the Secretary, HHS, and the Director, CDC regarding the most appropriate selection of vaccines and related agents for effective control of vaccine-preventable diseases in the United States. It is recommended by ACIP that certain people should get vaccinated each year. They are either people who are at high risk of having serious seasonal flu-related complications or people who live with or care for those at high risk for serious seasonal flu-related complications. During flu seasons when vaccine supplies are limited or delayed, ACIP makes recommendations regarding priority groups for vaccination.
