CDC recommends that influenza vaccination begin as soon as vaccine becomes available in the community and continue throughout the flu season. It takes about two weeks after vaccination for antibodies to develop in the body and provide protection against influenza, and influenza seasons can begin as early as October. Therefore, CDC recommends that vaccination begin as soon as vaccine becomes available to ensure that as many people as possible are protected before flu season begins.
Our Walgreens had a sign up for the flu shots, I guess they have them now. But I know as soon as school starts it that time again. And school started two weeks ago here. Just ask my DD, she will tell you all about how she had such a short summer!
I have only gotten one once years ago and have no plans to again. Hb has had a couple only cause they are free thru the VA but he did not get one last year despite doctors asking every time we went.
