Flu season is approaching, and it’s important to get your flu shot as soon as possible. But when is the best time to get your flu shot?
The CDC recommends getting your flu shot in September or October. This is because it takes about two weeks for your body to develop immunity after getting the flu shot. So, if you get your flu shot in September or October, you’ll be protected when flu season starts to ramp up in November and December.
Of course, it’s better to get your flu shot late than not at all. If you can’t get your flu shot in September or October, you should still get it as soon as possible. Even if you get your flu shot in January or February, you’ll still be protected for the rest of flu season.
Here are some additional tips for getting your flu shot:
- Get your flu shot every year. The flu virus changes every year, so it’s important to get a new flu shot every year.
- Get your flu shot at your doctor’s office, a pharmacy, or a community health center. Flu shots are available at most healthcare providers.
- Flu shots are free for most people. Most health insurance plans cover the cost of flu shots. If you don’t have health insurance, you can still get a flu shot for a low cost at a community health center or a pharmacy.
