Subject: Flucelvax Influenza Vaccine Now Available

Date: November 9, 2022

 

The Maine Immunization Program is pleased to announce that we now have Flucelvax influenza vaccine available to order. Due to the limited supply available, providers may place a maximum order of 20 doses only.

Flucelvax is a cell-based flu vaccine and is not dependent on the supply of eggs for production, therefore, we ask that only providers with patients that have a true egg allergy, order this vaccine. 

The Flucelvax may be given to children aged 6 months -18 years of age (due to funding source restrictions).
