The Health Information and Quality Authority (HIQA) suggests that switching to an adjuvanted flu vaccine for people over 65 could save money and reduce hospitalizations. Studies show that adjuvanted vaccines and high-dose vaccines are more effective in generating an immune response compared to standard doses. After a public consultation, the HIQA has advised health officials to consider using these more effective vaccines in winter flu vaccinations. By making this switch, the State could potentially save resources and improve outcomes for older individuals at higher risk of flu complications.
