Flu Vaccine Information
The CDC recommends getting your flu vaccine in September or October. It’s advised for everyone 6 months and older, and it’s updated annually.
Flu is a contagious illness that affects the nose, throat, and lungs. While many people experience mild symptoms, it can lead to serious complications, especially for those at high risk. By getting vaccinated, you protect yourself and others.
If you are immunocompromised, have an egg allergy, or have had an allergic reaction to the flu vaccine, talk to your healthcare provider—other options may be available.
If you've recently had COVID-19 or another illness, wait until you're fully recovered before getting the flu vaccine.
For more details or questions, consult your primary care provider.
