Timing of vaccination against flu
Get vaccinated as soon as the vaccine is available in your community.
|
In recent seasons, most infections have occurred in January and February. Vaccination before December is best to make sure you’re protected during the peak.
|
People should get vaccinated throughout the flu season from October through May. As long as flu viruses are still spreading in the community, vaccination can provide protective benefit.
