Influenza or flu vaccines provide protection from the true influenza. The infection affects the upper airways. A distinction is made between vaccines against seasonal influenza, which occurs every winter, and non-seasonal influenza vaccines, which are used in the event of impending influenza pandemics (zoonotic pre-pandemic vaccines and pandemic vaccines).

The influenza vaccine for the 2025/2026 season is composed of the antigens of globally circulating variants of viruses according to the recommendations of the WHO and the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) at the European Medicines Agency (EMA).
This composition differs from that of the 2024/2025 season.
| WHO Recommendations* for the northern hemisphere | Suitable strains according to the recommendations of the EMA |

| B/Austria/1359417/2021 (B/Victoria lineage)-like virus | Virus MEDI 355292, which is derived from B/Austria/1359417/2021 |
For the production of inactivated quadrivalent vaccines containing two influenza B virus strains, a B/Phuket/3073/2013 (B/Yamagata lineage)-like strain is considered suitable for the 2025/2026 season in addition to the strains mentioned above.
| WHO Recommendations* for the northern hemisphere | Suitable strains according to the recommendations of the EMA |

* A and B denote the virus types, the place name refers to the place of virus isolation; the first digit indicates the number of the isolated strain, the second refers to the year of isolation. H and N are the two most important proteins in the virus envelope hemagglutinin and neuraminidase, the number behind them indicates the hemagglutinin and neuraminidase subtype.
