How long does the flu shot last?

About two weeks after you have the flu shot, it starts working. According to the CDC, your immunity against the flu will gradually wane after that. It goes on to say that receiving a flu vaccination every year can keep you safe from the virus.

How does the flu vaccine work?

Flu shots, according to the CDC, cause the production of antibodies that protect you from seasonal influenza viruses currently in circulation. This can lower your chances of acquiring the flu, or of becoming extremely ill or being hospitalized if you do get it.

Can you get the flu from the flu shot?

According to the CDC, you cannot receive the flu from a flu vaccine. The flu vaccine, on the other hand, can have many of the same side effects and symptoms as the flu.

Wait time was slower than usual at this site. It was understandable waiting for test results , just a little longer than would've liked for that visit. The nurse was A+

Went In for a follow up and it took the doctor to see me atleast 30 min . Then he just said hello and bie, don’t get an exam just asked if everything was okay and yet got charged for the visit 125 😂 . I’d say this office is like a bootleg.

Scheduled ahead on the website. Still had to wait over an hour when I got there. Staff was very friendly and the office is very nice looking. Nurse was very helpful and the doctor was nice but I only saw him for 2 minutes. I would go there again in the future if I need to. Overall good experience and I would recommend them.

Thank you so much, you helped me out. Dr. Rodion Levin, a sensitive, knowledgeable doctor, quickly understood my problems, checked my lungs, checked on a lightning fast x-ray, provided first aid, prescribed four medications and today I am feeling much better. Staff is very friendly and caring. Everything is fast, clear, flawless. 200% recommended! Thanks again, Alexander Etman

I visited the local urgent care facility recently and had a fantastic experience. The best part was that there was no wait time at all, which was a huge relief. The staff was incredibly polite, knowledgeable, and friendly. They made me feel comfortable and well taken care of throughout my visit. I would highly recommend this urgent care to anyone in need of prompt and excellent medical attention.
