While the U.S Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), influenza activity remains low nationally, healthcare providers and pharmacies are well stocked with various flu shots to meet consumer demand.

Physicians, nurses, and pharmacists can offer patients up to nine influenza vaccines for the 2024-2025 flu season. 

As of November 15, 2024, the CDC reported that 92.35 million influenza vaccine enhanced for the 2024-2025 flu season had already been distributed in the U.S. According to pharmaceutical manufacturers, they are prepared to deliver tens of millions more as needed this season.

About 158 million flu vaccines were distributed during the 2023-2024 flu season.

The CDC recommends that everyone ages 6 months and older get an annual flu shot; some people may get a second dose later in the season.
