The Alaska Department of Health has released its fall vaccine update, aligning with the latest federal guidance as the state prepares for flu, RSV, and Covid-19 season, but adding that some medical professional groups have developed alternate guidance.
Flu Vaccine
Health officials recommend that everyone six months and older receive the 2025–2026 trivalent influenza vaccine, which is now available statewide. This year’s formulation is a single-dose shot designed to protect against the most common strains expected to circulate. The Department has published new epidemiology bulletins outlining vaccine availability and clinical guidance for providers.
COVID-19 Vaccine
On Aug. 27, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved new Covid vaccines for the 2025–2026 season from Moderna, Pfizer, and Sanofi/Novavax. At the same time, the FDA revoked the Emergency Use Authorization for prior versions of Moderna, Pfizer-BioNTech, and Novavax vaccines. These older formulations should no longer be administered.
For children ages six months to 11 years, the revoked EUA vaccines are no longer authorized. For people 12 and older, state health officials emphasize that patients should receive the newly licensed 2025–2026 vaccines rather than last season’s products.
The Alaska Department of Health is directing providers to immediately remove all 2024–2025 Covid vaccines from storage, delete them from inventory systems, and return unused doses to the CDC’s centralized distributor.
RSV Protection
Orders for nirsevimab, a preventive antibody for respiratory syncytial virus in infants, continue to be filled as Alaska prepares for the peak RSV season later this fall.
Next Steps
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices will meet September 18–19 to finalize recommendations for Covid vaccines. National groups, including the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, have already released their alternate preliminary recommendations, but it’s unclear if the Alaska Department of Health will go along with them. Alaska’s Immunization Program will issue further guidance once ACIP’s decisions are published.

As an alternative, a healthy lifestyle with periodic vigorous exercise will do wonders. Add to this vitamin supplements like a good multivitamin tablet with extra Vitamin D. This will complement the exercise program. I’ve replaced my asthma medication with Turmeric so no more expensive prescription inhalers.
And since no one trusts these people anymore I’ll take a pass. Who in hell knows what they are injecting you with. 0 credibility.
had to imagine that I’d agree with Sarah Palin. seems the Medicare “death panels” are here. too many people getting benefits and it’s time to cull the herd. the recipients of the “see big beautiful bill” need more money, not any benefits for the old, damaged or undereducated.
policies for the Special Classes don’t need milingerers and needless expenses supporting Labor. Machines can do the work now, don’t require Social Security and Medicare. the covid experiment was successful, one million died and no one raised too much of a stink, free money and life as usual.
the next phase will be way for successful. gt rid of those that paid in, write down the debt. devalue the currency and restrict medical access to the sick and dying. birth rates are already reflecting the abject hopelessness of the next generation. they already expect lesser economic outcomes like thier grandparents.
accept what ever Dear Leader is “elected” by dark money like sheep. accept without protest the decisions of the supreme court. accept that the news media got the entire pedo conspiracy wrong by 180 degrees. accept that falling IQ’s and lower standards of living are inevitable and you’re well on the way to the culling box
