Evaluating pediatric influenza vaccines in 2022–2023 — Providing optimal protection for the pediatric population — for Physicians
Influenza vaccination remains a critical public health tool to reduce outbreaks of endemic influenza infection. This program summarizes the key National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) influenza vaccine recommendations and the differences between currently marketed vaccines in Canada. The overall goal of this program is to increase clinicians' confidence in applying the NACI recommendations for pediatric influenza immunization for the 2022–2023 influenza season.
