Hello Doctor, Influenza 1 and 2 doses are completed for my baby. But today our pediatrician told that influenza vaccine should be given annually upto 9 or 18 years something? Is it really necessary Doctor? Because I didn't read or hear about this any where. Please suggest. Thank you.

Influenza annual is recommended till 5 years of age by IAP. It may be continued annually till 8 years of age as suggested by WHO. It is optional after that age
