Answers:
I work in a hospital. They vaccinate all staff during the month of October. Flu season is considered to occur between October and May...But peak season is between December and March. So you still have time and it will still be worth it!Health Question & Answer

Your right, there are new strains of the flu virus every year that the vaccine does not protect against. It's really a personal choice to be vaccinated or not. It is more important for high risk individuals, the elderly, those with immune deficiencies, etc. If you choose to be vaccinated the best time is in October.Health Question & Answer

in the fall time. october is probably best and that's usually when you see flu shots offered most.Health Question & Answer

Definitely around this time of year. Nov-Dec.Health Question & Answer
