According to NACI2
Considering the burden of disease associated with influenza
A(H3N2) and the evidence of superior efficacy of high dose TIV
[FLUZONE® High-Dose] compared to standard dose TIV [FLUZONE®],
it appears high dose TIV would provide the greatest benefit

For persons aged 65 years and over, the risk for influenza-attributed death was:6
