A Fresh Dose of Flu Vaccine

The FDA approves a new one, boosting the number of doses ready as another flu season approaches.

Just in time for the flu season, the Food and Drug Administration approved a new flu vaccine on Thursday, bringing the total number of flu shots manufactured in the U.S. to five. With the addition of the latest vaccine, the Department of Health and Human Services expects to have an unprecedented 110-115 million doses of the vaccine ready to protect Americans this winter.
