- Flu vaccination is recommended for everyone 65 and older, as well as those who are regularly in close contact with severely immunocompromised individuals.
- A newly licensed measles, mumps and rubella vaccine, Priorix, was added to the table of trade names for vaccines.
- A newly licensed 15-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, known as Vaxneuvance, was also added.
- A three-dose vaccine of PreHevbrio for prevention of hepatitis B was added, but is not recommended for pregnant individuals.
