The higher dose flu vaccine for those over 65 years old has been given for many years now-it is not new! People over 65 typically don’t mount the same immune response as younger people so a higher dose allows a better immune response, thus increasing protection against influenza. The side effects are similar to the regular flu vaccine so the side effects you typically get, if any, can occur.
