Quadrivalent injected vaccine (Mylan Tetra) - For adults aged 18 and over but below the age of 65 who are at increased risk from flu because of a long-term health condition and for children 6 months and above in an eligible group who cannot receive the live vaccine.
Adjuvanted trivalent injected vaccine (Seqirus Fluad) - For people aged 65 and over as it has been shown to be more effective in this age group.
