In a unanimous 11-0 vote, the ACIP recommend that everyone 6 months of age and older should receive an updated COVID-19 vaccine, similar to last year's recommendation.

The committee also voted unanimously that everyone 6 months of age and older should receive an updated 2024-2025 influenza vaccine, with rare exceptions. Also, in another unanimous vote, members voted that high-dose inactivated (HD-IIV3) and adjuvanted inactivated (aIIV3) influenza vaccines are acceptable options for influenza vaccination in solid organ transplant recipients.
