Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Who needs a flu vaccine?

Everyone ages 6 months and older should get a flu vaccine every year.

If you’re at higher risk of developing serious flu complications, flu vaccination is especially important. These groups include:

Adults 65 and older
Adults with certain chronic health conditions, such as asthma, heart disease, diabetes, and chronic kidney
Pregnant people
Children younger than 5 years, but especially those younger than 2 years old.

When should I get my flu shot?

Flu season starts in the fall, and most of the time, flu activity peaks between December and February. The CDC recommends that people get vaccinated early in the season, ideally by the end of October.

Can I get the flu even if I am vaccinated?

Getting the vaccine reduces your chance of getting sick. It’s possible to catch the flu even if you’re vaccinated, but the vaccine reduces the severity of illness if you do get sick. If you’re vaccinated and still get the flu, you have a lower chance of getting seriously ill or needing hospitalization.
