Seasonal Vaccine Schedule For All Ages

Flu Season is Almost Here

 

Seasonal vaccines are here – for all kids – big and little!

As the air gets crisper and the leaves begin to turn, it’s time to think about the fall and winter respiratory season! To keep your whole household healthy NVFP is rolling out seasonal vaccines in line with the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) guidelines for the 2026–2027 season

Whether you are parenting a newborn, wrangling a teenager, or looking out for the grandkids, here is your quick guide to this year’s seasonal defenses:

The Little Kids (6 Months to 23 Months)

• Flu Defense: A yearly flu vaccine is recommended for everyone aged 6 months and older Tip: If it’s their very first flu shot, they will need two doses spaced 4 weeks apart, so let’s get started early!
• COVID-19 Defense: Routine updated COVID-19 vaccination is highly recommended for all infants and toddlers in this age group to protect their developing immune systems. Tip: Just like with flu vaccine two doses are needed spaced 4 weeks apart!
• Flu Defense: A single annual flu shot keeps them in the classroom and playing safely with friends.
• COVID-19 Defense: An updated dose is strongly recommended for kids with chronic conditions (like asthma or diabetes) or those who have never been vaccinated. For all other healthy kids and teens, we are happily offering them to any family wanting an extra layer of winter protection.
• Flu & COVID-19 Defense: Routine annual flu shots and an updated COVID-19 vaccine dose are recommended for all adults to keep you thriving (and protect the little ones around you!).
• Enhanced Protection: Because immune systems mature over time, the AAFP recommends specialized high-dose flu vaccines for adults 65 and older.
• Two-Dose Strategy: For COVID-19, adults 65+ are advised to receive two doses of the updated vaccine this season, spaced 6 months apart, for optimal, year-round immunity.
