Influenza
2020 - 2021 Season
The CDC recommends a yearly influenza vaccination for everyone 6 months and older. Now is a good time to get vaccinated. It takes about two weeks after vaccination for protection to set in. "Flu season" in the United States can begin as early as October and last as late as May. During this time, flu viruses are circulating at higher levels in the U.S. population. An annual seasonal flu vaccine is the best way to reduce the chances that you will get seasonal flu and potentially spread it to others. When more people get vaccinated against the flu, less flu can spread through that community. We are currently offering flu vaccines for ages six months and up for the 2020-2021 flu season.
