[MCOH-EH] Flublok or Standard Egg-grown vaccine for people 50-64?

[Tim Crump]

We have just recently been made aware of the June 2017 NEJM article that found that Flublok is 30% more effective than the standard egg-grown flu vaccine for people aged 50-64.  What are other institutions doing?  Are you offering or recommending Flublok to this age group or relying on the egg-grown variety? We are aware that CDC does not have a preferential recommendation for one flu vaccine over another. Thanks for your thoughts and help!  Best, Tim
