2023–2024 Influenza Season Vaccine LabelExamples

Health care professionals can easily confuse different influenza vaccines within the storage unit. Labeling the area or 

container where vaccines are stored can help staff quickly locate and choose the correct vaccine—perhaps preventing a 

vaccine administration error. Depending on how vaccines are organized within storage units, labels can be placed on vaccine 

storage containers or bins, or directly attached to shelving where the vaccines are placed. Other helpful strategies to identify 

the correct vaccine include color-coding the labels (e.g., one color for pediatric and another for adult vaccines) and providing 

additional information such as age indications and other information unique to the vaccine. The Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention (CDC) also recommends that vaccines be stored in the original packaging to help maintain the recommended 

temperature range, and to help prevent administration errors [see CDC vaccine storage and handling toolkit found at 

https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/hcp/admin/storage/toolkit/index.html].

The following labels are examples that may be used to help organize 2023-24 seasonal influenza vaccines. These labels are 

based on manufacturer packaging information which is summarized in the recommendations of the Advisory Committee on 

Immunization Practices (ACIP) for the prevention and control of influenza during the 2023–2024 influenza season [found at 

https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/72/rr/rr7202a1.htm ]. Healthcare professionals should refer to the ACIP recommendations to

ensure existing influenza vaccine labels and new labels contain correct product-specific information.
