Flublok is a vaccine indicated for immunization for the prevention of disease caused by influenza A and B strains contained in the vaccine. Flublok is given to people 18 years of age and older.

FLUBLOK®—the flu vaccine that is proven to give adults 50+ more protection.

FLUBLOK®:

  • Is FDA approved for people 18+
  • Has 3x the dose of a standard-dose flu shot
  • In adults 18 through 64 years of age, the most common side effects were pain where you got the shot, headache, tiredness, and muscle pain. In adults 65 years of age and older, the most common side effects were pain where you got the shot, tiredness and headache.

In a clinical study of approximately 9,000 people, FLUBLOK® (quadrivalent) (Influenza Vaccine) was proven to be 30% more effective at preventing flu in people 50+ vs FLUARIX® QUADRIVALENT (a standard-dose vaccine).

The efficacy of the trivalent and quadrivalent formulations are related because both are made using the same process and have overlapping compositions.

The CDC recommends FLUBLOK®, a higher-dose flu vaccine, for people 65+.

† 

FLUBLOK®, FLUZONE® HIGH-DOSE, or an adjuvanted quadrivalent vaccine are preferentially recommended by the CDC for people 65+ over standard-dose flu shots. If none of these are available, then any other age-appropriate influenza vaccine should be used.

Flu infection poses serious risks at all ages.

Even if you’re a younger adult, you can still suffer from flu-related complications that can come with flu.
Additionally, you run the risk of passing the flu virus on to vulnerable people around you.

Adults with heart disease, diabetes, chronic lung disease (asthma, COPD), and other chronic conditions are at higher risk of developing serious flu-related complications.

FLUBLOK® helps reduce the risk of flu and flu-related complications.
