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.

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 recently went to Express Family clinic, and as always, I was treated with the utmost care and respect - despite 30 people being in front of me. Did I have to wait? Of course I did - there was a line already out of the door when I arrived. I waited in my car until I was called in, and then I was treated thoroughly and professionally. Maybe it’s Covid, back to school, or something else in the air right now - but it’s been incredibly busy the last couple of times I’ve went. However, the owner and all of her employees were working like crazy to get everyone seen and treated as quickly - and efficiently - as possible. I’ve been coming to this clinic since it first opened and I’ve never been disappointed - and even with a long wait, I’ll still never complain. Best clinic ever.
