Hello
It’s the same flu shot for all ages. The dose changes by age. For children less than 3 years, it’s 0.25 ml and for older than 3 years, it’s 0.5 ml.

Several different companies make flu shots. Some are for 6months to 36 months and another shot for above 36 months. There is also a more potent shot for the elderly. Another company has the same shot for 6 months and above.
