The 2026 flu season is shaping up to look very different. With the transition from QIV (Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine) to TIV (Trivalent Influenza Vaccine), there will be fewer vaccine options available. Manufacturers have already indicated that their production capacity is limited, and the likelihood of shortages has significantly increased.
With only so much stock available, it has never been more important to place your 2026 flu vaccine order early. Acting now ensures you:
• Lock in your supply ahead of the rush.
• Access early bird pricing — maximise value while securing stock.
• Plan with confidence knowing your patients will be protected

Flu Vaccines: Transition from Quadrivalent to Trivalent
What this means for you:
• Reduced choice: With less variety in flu vaccines, securing your preferred option early is critical.
• Higher risk of supply gaps: Once stock is allocated, it may not be replenished.
• Increased demand: Every provider is competing for limited supply.




The B/Yamagata influenza B strain has not been detected since the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, the World Health Organization (WHO) now recommends removing it from seasonal influenza vaccines (1). From the 2026 Winter Season, manufacturers will follow this guidance by transitioning from quadrivalent (QIV) to trivalent (TIV) formulations (2). This ensures vaccines remain effective while avoiding unnecessary strain coverage. This change mirrors the Northern Hemisphere, which began its transition during the 2024–2025 season (3).
