The 2 doses of influenza vaccine do not have to have been administered in the same season or consecutive seasons. The TennIIS Vaccination Forecast is recommending additional booster doses for children less than 9 years of age unless the record has 2 doses documented in the same season. This bug has been reported to the TennIIS vendor.

HOWEVER: The TennIIS vaccination forecast program does not yet include Heplisav-B.
