The World Health Organization (WHO) has published recommendations for vaccine composition for the 2026-2027 Northern Hemisphere influenza season. This recommendation is the result of a comprehensive review of global influenza surveillance data after four days of expert consultation.

WHO recommends the composition of the vaccine twice a year according to the influenza season in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, respectively. Based on this announcement, vaccine manufacturers in each country will begin producing vaccines in time for the fall vaccination season in 2026.

Countries in the Northern Hemisphere, including Korea, establish their national influenza vaccine policies in accordance with this recommendation. The Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency plans to confirm the vaccine strain to be used in the national vaccination project, reflecting WHO recommendations.
