Is a flu shot necessary?

Everyone 6 months or older should get vaccinated for the flu every year. Influenza, or the flu, is a serious virus and infection that hospitalizes and kills thousands of people annually. And it is constantly changing. The flu vaccine is the best way to protect yourself and your family from contracting the virus.

Do I need to get a flu shot every year?

Flu vaccines are needed annually, primarily for two reasons. First, the flu virus is constantly evolving, meaning the virus you received a vaccine for last year is unique from the virus in the upcoming season. As such, the vaccine itself needs to be different. 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.

When should I get a flu shot?

Each year is a little different, but flu season generally starts as early as September. Getting a flu shot early in the season - August to October - gives your buddy the best opportunity to build up immunity to the virus as it does take roughly two weeks for the vaccine to protect you against infection. 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.

I was promptly greeted and checked-in. My wait was NOT long. Two (tag-team) Nurses took my history and current medical status, both with kind and friendly attitudes. One of them even shared a story with me. When the PA came in, her smile calmed all my worries, and she was extremely patient with me as she assessed my situation. The PA, April, was thorough and attentive. She showed genuine care for my discomfort. April took the time to rule out scenarios/options that could NOT be what was going on; she also explored possibilities for best treatment plan. Overall, I would certainly advise anyone with medical need to visit this clinic.
