New Flu and COVID-19 vaccines are updated for the 2024-2025 season.
The new Flu vaccines target three flu strains: A(H1N1), A(H3N2), and B/Victoria. The new COVID-19 vaccines are reformulated to address a newer omicron variant called KP.2, or FLiRT.

Flu vaccine for children 6 months to 8 years old need two doses of flu vaccine.

If your child is getting vaccinated for the first time, or has previously received only one dose of flu vaccine, they should get two doses of the flu vaccine. For those children it is recommended they get the first dose as soon as the vaccine is available, because the second dose needs to be given at least 4 weeks after the first dose.

COVID-19 for children 6 months through 4 years of age:

If your child is getting the COVID vaccines for the first time, three doses of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine (2024-2025 Formula) are administered. The first two doses are administered three weeks apart. The third dose is administered at least 8 weeks after the second dose.
