Influenza Bulletins

The Childhood Influenza Immunization Coalition (CIIC) distributes periodic email bulletins for member representatives to share with their constituents. Bulletins provide general information about CIIC activities and important influenza announcements.

UPDATE: The updated recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) regarding the use of seasonal influenza vaccines is available at:
Prevention and Control of Seasonal Influenza with Vaccines, 2017-2018. ACIP voted that live attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV), also known as the “nasal spray” flu vaccine, should not be used during the 2017-2018 flu season. ACIP continues to recommend annual flu vaccination, with either the inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV) or recombinant influenza vaccine (RIV), for all individuals age 6 months and older.
