Hi
In the latest NACI Influenza statement updated influenza abbreviations are provided. They recommend specifying standard dose (vs high dose) and also indicate whether adjuvanted or not. There are other vaccines that may or may not include an adjuvant and as we are finalizing the immunization content for CCDD we had not considered including mention of adjuvant.

See Table 1

We would like to hear from the community on your thoughts on adjuvant in or out of scope for a formal naming pattern

thankyou
Beverly and the CCDD unit
