It’s Not Too Late to Get Your Flu Shot

Han Su on February 7, 2020

It’s not too late to get a date for Valentine’s Day 😉 and it is not too late to get your flu shot! Reports are showing that February 2020 is going to be the worst month for the flu.

This flu season is shaping up to be one of the worst in decades, according to the United States’ top infectious disease doctor. Even though the flu season is well underway, the worst could still be ahead, so the CDC advises everyone older than 6 months to get a flu shot. – Elizabeth Cohen and John Bonifield, CNN.

The Hospitalist also states that the peak month of flu activity occurs most often in February.

Why Should You Get the Flu Shot?

Influenza or the flu is a very serious disease that can lead to hospitalization or even death. Every flu season is unique and the flu affects everyone differently. Even a person who is very healthy can get sick from the flu or a flu-related illness and spread it to others.

Getting the flu shot is not just about protecting yourself, it also helps the community. When you get the flu shot, you are helping to keep higher-risk seniors and young children, who may not be able to get the vaccine, safe.

Who Should Get the Flu Shot?

Everyone who is six months or older should get the flu vaccine every season. These flu shots are also approved for use in pregnant women and people with chronic health conditions.

The only people who should not get a flu shot are those that are younger than six months of age or who have life-threatening allergies to the flu vaccine or any ingredient that is in the vaccine. If you have an allergy to eggs or any of the ingredients in the vaccine, you should talk to your doctor about your allergy before getting the flu shot. If you are not feeling well, you should talk to your doctor about your symptoms before you get the flu shot or wait until you are feeling better.
