Everyday Healthcare’s Guide to Flu Shots
As we head into the cooler months, it’s crucial to prepare for flu season, and one of the most effective ways to do that is by getting a flu shot.
When Should You Get Your Flu Shot?
The CDC recommends getting vaccinated in September or October for people who only need one dose for the season. The best time ideally is the end of October, but getting vaccinated after can still protect you from peak flu season.
How long does a flu shot last?
The flu shot vaccine is expected to last six months. Depending on when you get vaccinated, it is enough to protect you through December-February, which is considered peak flu season.
Does insurance cover flu shots?
Yes, most health insurance plans typically cover the cost of flu shots. However, it’s always a good idea to check with your specific insurance provider to confirm coverage details.
For those without insurance, flu shots can be done for $30 at Everyday Healthcare.
Why Should You Get Vaccinated Every Year?
Flu viruses change constantly, which is why getting vaccinated every year is essential.
Each year, the flu vaccine is updated to protect against the most prevalent strains expected to circulate. Last year’s flu shot won’t necessarily protect you against this year’s virus, as flu strains mutate and evolve.
Annual vaccination also boosts your immune system, reducing the chances of severe illness.
Even if you do contract the flu after getting vaccinated, the severity of the illness is usually much lower, meaning fewer symptoms and a faster recovery.
