MMWR August 29, 2024: Prevention and Control of Seasonal Influenza with Vaccines
On August 29, 2024, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) published an MMWR Prevention and Control of Seasonal Influenza with Vaccines: Recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices — United States, 2024–25 Influenza Season.
This report updates the influenza vaccine recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) concerning the use of seasonal influenza vaccines in the United States.
Influenza remains a serious threat due to its potential to cause severe morbidity and mortality. Annual influenza vaccination is the most effective way to prevent influenza illness and associated complications, including death. Clinicians play a critical role in the immunization of all persons aged 6 months and older throughout the influenza season.
