FLUZONE HIGH-DOSE AND FLUBLOK CAN HELP PREVENT FLU-RELATED HOSPITALIZATIONS
Fluzone High-Dose and Flublok are the only higher-dose flu shots proven to prevent more flu in older adults than a standard-dose influenza vaccine in RCTs.3,6,8
In a randomized controlled trial, Fluzone High-Dose (Influenza Vaccine) trivalent formulation provided 24% (95% CI: 10-37) better protection against influenza due to any lab-confirmed circulating strains vs a standard-dose influenza vaccine in adults 65 years of age and older.2,8
Solicited injection-site reactions and systemic adverse reactions were more frequent after vaccination with Fluzone High-Dose compared to Fluzone.2

In a randomized controlled trial, Flublok (quadrivalent) provided 30% (95% CI: 10-47) better protection against influenza due to any PCR-confirmed circulating strains vs a standard-dose quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccine in adults 50 years of age and older.1,3
THE MOST COMMON ADVERSE REACTIONS FOR FLUBLOK ARE STATED BELOW PER THE PRESCRIBING INFORMATION
In adults 18 through 49 years of age, the most common (≥10%) injection-site adverse reaction was pain (37%); the most common (≥10%) solicited systemic adverse reactions were headache (15%), fatigue (15%) and muscle pain (11%).1
In adults 50 through 64 years of age, the most common (≥10%) injection site adverse reaction was pain (32%); the most common (≥10%) solicited systemic adverse reactions were headache (17%), fatigue (13%), and muscle pain (11%).1
In adults 65 years of age and older, the most common (≥10%) injection site adverse reaction was pain (19%); the most common (≥10%) solicited systemic adverse reactions were fatigue (13%) and headache (10%).1
The efficacy of the quadrivalent formulation is relevant to Flublok since both vaccines are manufactured according to the same process and have overlapping compositions.1
