GSK PLC has begun shipping doses of its influenza vaccines to U.S. health care providers and pharmacies ahead of the upcoming flu season, and the company said Monday that it expects to distribute over 50 million doses.

The distribution of GSK's quadrivalent influenza vaccine immediately follows a licensing and lot-release approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, GSK said.

Both FluLaval Quadrivalent and Fluarix Quadrivalent vaccines will be available to patients six months and older, in line with recommendations from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the company said.

GSK shares edged 0.8% higher to $17.69 Monday, up 10% for the year.
