I went grocery shopping this morning and they had a big banner outside saying it was time for flu shots and either stop in or schedule an appointment online.

I know last year I got it in late August and I'll probably get one in the next week or two.

That seems early.  Normally our vaccines don't arrive until mid Sept.  I'm in Colorado

October !!

The best time to get the flu shot is September-October. The immunity lasts about 4-6 months so you want it to be effective in and about February. But please check with your doctor.

Too early.  It'll lose its effectiveness by the time flu season peaks.  I try to get mine sometime in October.

Flu shot only effective for about 90 days ...if I take it now may not have enough protection by the time flu season arrives....PCP recommends October...

I have never gotten a flu shot or the flu.  Just got over Covid and will wait for the recommendation on a second booster shot.  How many shots can a person get????

I work for the city. I've already scheduled with our city nurses to give us our flu shots mid-October. 👍💉👀
