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.

How effective is the flu shot?

Each year, the CDC and other organizations conduct studies to determine the effectiveness of the flu vaccine against that years flu virus.

Generally speaking, flu shots tend to work better against influenza types A & B.

How long does a flu shot last?

Depending on where you get your flu vaccine, what type of vaccine you are getting, and whether or not you are insured, flu shot costs vary. Generally speaking, however, flu shots can cost between $0 and $50, sometimes more.

The exemplary staff of PA's are excellent. I have been so pleased with the entire clinic and all personnel. They are sincere and very caring. The techs are outstanding as well. I especially want to thank Ms.Lauren Johnson for her insightful knowledge and expertise in urgent care and follow up which resulted in being admitted to a Nashville hospital. Her follow up care has been very thorough with sincere and great patient care. This clinic is superb in every way and I am so thankful that this clinic is located in Murfreesboro. It is the cleanest clinic and I want to thank the PAs who prevented me from my pneumonia going into covid. This clinic is a blessing to Murfreesboro.
