Flu vaccines are needed annually, primarily for two reasons.

Second, the vaccine itself wears off and your immune system’s response to the flu virus decreases over time. Unless you receive the vaccine every year, you will lack necessary immunity.

Of course, if you are unable to get the flu shot early, getting a flu shot later still helps as the virus could last through May.
