GSK Begins Shipping Fluviral Ahead of Canada’s 2025–26 Flu Season

GSK Canada (GlaxoSmithKline Inc.) has started shipping its trivalent seasonal influenza vaccine, Fluviral, to provinces across the country in preparation for the 2025–26 flu season.

Protecting Canadians Against Influenza

  • Fluviral is approved for use in adults and children over six months of age.
  • It protects against influenza virus types A and B included in the vaccine.
  • Annual vaccination remains the most effective way to reduce flu risks, according to Health Canada.
  • Each year, influenza leads to:
    - 12,000+ hospitalizations
    - 3,500 deaths
    - Ranking among Canada’s top 10 leading causes of death.

The Public Health Agency of Canada recommends yearly vaccination for everyone six months and older, unless contraindicated.

Made in Quebec for Canadians

  • Fluviral is manufactured at GSK’s Ste-Foy, Quebec facility, which has supplied Canadians with flu vaccines since 1997.
  • The site produces the majority of Canada’s seasonal flu vaccine supply.
  • In the event of a pandemic, it serves as the country’s primary supplier of influenza vaccine.

2025–26 WHO Strain Recommendations

Each year, the World Health Organization (WHO) reviews circulating strains and recommends vaccine composition.
For egg-based vaccines in the Northern Hemisphere (2025–26), WHO advised including:

  • A/Victoria/4897/2022 (H1N1)pdm09-like virus
  • A/Croatia/10136RV/2023 (H3N2)-like virus
  • B/Austria/1359417/2021 (B/Victoria lineage)-like virus

Fluviral’s composition for this season follows these recommendations.

  • Children under six
  • Adults 65+
  • Indigenous Peoples
  • Pregnant women
  • People in congregate care settings
  • Individuals with chronic conditions such as asthma, diabetes, or heart disease
