Which Flu Vaccine is Right for Me and my Family?

• Influvac Tetra $36 or free aged 65 or high risk- Egg based quadrivalent approved from 6 months of age, suitable for use in pregnancy. Standard first-line choice contains 4 flu strains

• Flucelvax $42 for 6 months to 49 years- Cell-based- the only egg-free option of the three may offer a modest effectiveness advantage over egg-based vaccines. No antibiotics used in manufacture.

• Fluad $45 for 50 years and older- Egg-based but adjuvanted (MF59) for a stronger immune response. Best suited to older adults with weaker immune responses, contains traces of kanamycin and neomycin- avoid if anaphylaxis to these.

*Flucelvax and Fluad vaccines protect against 3 strains of flu. They do not protect against the B/Yamagata virus as it is no longer circulating. However, it is still included in the funded Influvac Tetra for 2026.
