Why Get a Flu Shot?
Influenza is a contagious respiratory illness that can cause symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, fatigue, and chills. In some cases, flu can lead to complications that require medical attention.
Getting a seasonal flu vaccine can help reduce your risk of becoming sick with influenza and may reduce the severity of illness if you do become infected. Because influenza viruses can change over time, seasonal vaccination is generally recommended each year.
Vaccination is especially important for people who may have a higher risk of serious flu-related complications. Your healthcare provider can help you understand whether vaccination is appropriate based on your age, health history, and other individual factors.
Who Should Consider a Flu Vaccine?
Flu vaccination may be recommended for many people, including children and adults. Individual vaccination recommendations can depend on age, health conditions, previous vaccination history, and other factors.
Flu Shots for Adults
Adults can discuss seasonal flu vaccination with a healthcare professional to determine which vaccine is appropriate for them. People with certain chronic health conditions may have a greater risk of complications from influenza.
Flu Vaccination for Children
Children can also benefit from seasonal influenza vaccination. EPIC Urgent & Family Care provides pediatric vaccination services, and its immunization program lists flu among the vaccines available for children.
Parents and guardians can speak with the healthcare team about their child’s vaccination history and current recommendations.
Older Adults
Older adults can be at increased risk of serious complications from influenza. Seasonal vaccination may be an important part of preventive healthcare for this age group.
People With Certain Health Conditions
People living with certain chronic conditions should discuss flu vaccination with their healthcare provider. Your provider can consider your health history and help you make an informed decision about vaccination.
When Should You Get a Flu Shot?
Flu activity is generally seasonal, so getting vaccinated before influenza activity increases can be helpful. However, vaccination may still be beneficial later during the flu season.
The ideal timing can vary from person to person. If you have questions about when to receive your seasonal flu vaccine, speak with a healthcare professional.
EPIC Urgent & Family Care can help you understand your vaccination options and provide information about current vaccine availability.
