[CIS PIDD] [cis-pidd] High-dose influenza vaccine for PID patients?

[Hsu, Florence]

Hi all,

I've had several inquiries from adult patients under the age of 65 with CVID or other IgG/IgA deficiencies regarding whether they should get the high-dose flu vaccine currently approved for >65 yo.  Is there any consensus whether this is indicated/good idea or not necessary?

Would love to hear what others are suggesting,
Ida
