Everyone, not just those at risk of complications, should get an annual flu shot, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices has declared. The CDC is expected to make this recommendation into official policy for the 2010-11 flu season.

This move expands the vaccination recommendation to cover healthy adults who do not come into contact with infants or the elderly, who are at highest risk of flu complications.

The 2010-11 seasonal flu vaccine will include the H1N1 swine flu vaccine, which has replaced the seasonal H1N1 virus covered by previous vaccines, according to the CDC. The new seasonal vaccine also will include protection against the predominant “Perth” H3N2 type A and “Brisbane” type B flu viruses.
