You may have seen a lot of coverage about the flu vaccine this season. The good news is that it’s safe and effective, so you should know what to do if you get sick or plan on going out in public.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends everyone over six months old get the annual flu shot yearly. This includes healthy adults, children 2-17 years old, pregnant women between 6 weeks before conception through their first trimester (6 weeks after delivery), people 65 years and older regardless of age at the vaccination site they live in—and even those who work with patients younger than 18 years old who are considered high risk due to chronic diseases or disabilities like asthma or diabetes mellitus type 2.
There are many myths about the flu vaccine.
There are many myths about the flu vaccine. The most common is that the vaccine isn’t safe or effective. Not everyone who gets vaccinated will indeed get sick with the flu, but it is still essential to get your shot every year because even if you’re not sickened by a virus this season, there’s always next year.
The other myth is that getting a flu shot from someone else means you can’t get vaccinated yourself at home—but this isn’t true! You can still ask for your dose of influenza vaccine at any time during open enrollment (the first two weeks in October). So don’t worry about buying one from an office or pharmacy—you’ll be able to do so anytime during open enrollment!
