What is the flu shot, and how does it work?
The flu shot is a vaccine designed to protect against influenza viruses. It works by stimulating the immune system to produce antibodies that can fight off the virus if you're exposed to it.
Who should get a flu shot?
Flu shots are recommended for everyone aged six months and older.
Moreover, certain age groups, including children, seniors, pregnant women, and individuals with underlying health conditions, can especially benefit from flu shots as they are more susceptible to severe flu-related complications.
When should I get a flu shot?
Getting vaccinated before the flu season peaks (typically in the fall) is the best way to ensure protection for the season. However, please note that it's never too late to receive a flu shot
