Flu vaccination coverage for children 6 months─17 years is based on data from CDC's National Immunization Survey–Flu (NIS-Flu), which are based on parental report. Data and charts are available.

- The percentage of children who received a flu vaccination varies by child's age, mother's education, poverty status, urbanicity, and jurisdiction.
- CDC's final estimates for previous flu seasons are available.
The summaries for the 2025─26 season will be populated as the data become available throughout the fall/winter.

- CDC's final estimates for previous flu seasons are available.
Within-season, jurisdiction-level, vaccination coverage estimates for children 6 months–17 years and adults 18 years and older are based on IIS data submitted to CDC through the end of November 2025 by 13 immunization awardee jurisdictions. The coverage of some Pacific Island jurisdictions may reflect vaccination program activities aligned with regional virus circulation patterns (i.e., they may vaccinate on a different schedule than the continental U.S.). Data and charts are available.
- For children 6 months–17 years:
- Among the currently reporting 11 state and city IIS jurisdictions, flu vaccination coverage ranged from 9.9% to 23.3%.
- Among two reporting U.S. territorial and affiliated island jurisdictions, coverage ranged from 4.8% to 15.0%.
- For adults 18 years and older:
- Among the currently reporting 11 state and city IIS jurisdictions, flu vaccination coverage ranged from 15.0% to 25.2%.
- Among two reporting U.S. territorial and affiliated island jurisdictions, coverage ranged from 0.2% to 6.0%.
Flu vaccination coverage among Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries 65 years and older is assessed using data files from the Medicare Fee-For-Service administrative claims data managed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Data and charts are available.
- As of September 27, 2025, an estimated 12.7% of Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries 65 years and older were vaccinated.
- Vaccination coverage was highest among non-Hispanic Asian (16.3%) beneficiaries and lowest among Hispanic (7.4%) beneficiaries.
IQVIA measures flu vaccinations administered at retail pharmacies and American Medical Association (AMA) physicians' medical offices for adults 18 years and older, based on healthcare claims data. Data and charts are available, with estimates available overall and by select age groups.
- For the 2025–26 season, as of November 22, 2025:
- An estimated ~30.1 million doses of flu vaccine were administered in retail pharmacies.
- This was ~2.2 million fewer doses than were administered by this same time point in the 2024–25 flu season.
- An estimated ~16.2 million doses were administered in physicians' medical offices.
- This was ~947, 042 fewer doses than were administered by this same time point in the 2024–25 flu season.
The Indian Health Service's (IHS) Influenza-like Illness Awareness System (IIAS) captures flu vaccination coverage among American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) patients who received care in an IHS and in some Tribal or Urban Indian (I/T/U) healthcare facilities.
The health care personnel flu vaccine coverage is captured through the IHS National Immunization Reporting System (NIRS) and includes employees who work in IHS and in some tribal and urban healthcare facilities.
There may be gaps in both the IIAS and NIRS systems since not all I/T/U healthcare facilities report.
Data are available via Indian Health Service.
