Frequently Asked Questions

Who should get the flu vaccine?

The CDC recommends that everyone 6 months of age and older should get a flu vaccine every season, especially those who are at high risk of serious complications from influenza, such as the elderly, young children, and individuals with certain health conditions.

When is the best time to get the vaccine?

The best time to get the Influenza vaccine is before flu activity begins in your community, typically in early fall. However, getting vaccinated later can still be beneficial, and flu vaccines are usually offered throughout the flu season.

Is the vaccination effective immediately?

No, it takes about two weeks after vaccination for antibodies to develop in the body and provide protection against the flu. Therefore, it’s best to get vaccinated early in the fall, before the flu season really gets underway.

Can the flu vaccine give me the flu?

No, it doesn't give you the flu. Flu vaccines administered with a needle are made with either inactivated (killed) viruses or with only a single protein from the flu virus. The nasal spray vaccine does contain live viruses, but they are attenuated (weakened), so they cannot cause flu illness.
