Is a flu shot necessary?

Everyone 6 months or older should get vaccinated for the flu every year. Influenza, or the flu, is a serious virus and infection that hospitalizes and kills thousands of people annually. And it is constantly changing. The flu vaccine is the best way to protect yourself and your family from contracting the virus.

Do I need to get a flu shot every year?

Flu vaccines are needed annually, primarily for two reasons. First, the flu virus is constantly evolving, meaning the virus you received a vaccine for last year is unique from the virus in the upcoming season. As such, the vaccine itself needs to be different. Second, the vaccine itself wears off and your immune system’s response to the flu virus decreases over time. Unless you receive the vaccine every year, you will lack necessary immunity.

When should I get a flu shot?

Of course, if you are unable to get the flu shot early, getting a flu shot later still helps as the virus could last through May.

The provider was dismissive and condescending. My concerns were not listened to at all. HCP did not see what I was concerned about and when I showed a magnified picture he was still dismissive about it.

The ladies at front desk were very nice. And that’s rare for front desk women, they are usually over it and want you out their faces ASAP. However very nice. My triage nurse was a guy he was immensely comforting not at any point he made me feel uncomfortable. Extremely professional. Made sure I was good and reassured the PA will be with me shortly. Now my PA was the best she did not act til she did not want to touch me. She was thorough, answered all questions very patient with me and wanted me to understand my diagnosis and told me to ask much question as I wanted cause as humans we remember our questions when walk out. I appreciate and adore them over there.
