Tripartite annual flu letter for 2025/26

The tripartite annual flu letter for 2025/26 has been published today (13.02.25).  Please see link below.  This sets out which groups are eligible for flu vaccination in 2025 to 2026, and which vaccine should be offered to them.  There are no changes to the cohorts nor timing for this autumn’s programme.

Please note that WHO has recommended a move to trivalent formulations of influenza vaccines in preference to quadrivalent formulations.  All influenza vaccines have either already got MHRA approval to be trivalent or manufacturers are in the process of seeking the relevant approvals.
