Flu season is widely recognized as beginning in the early fall months, and lasting into the spring season.

The flu is caused by a viral infection, and it can cause severe symptoms, even for healthy adults. Getting your annual flu shot greatly reduces your likelihood of catching the flu and developing severe symptoms from the flu.

Who's Eligible for the Flu Shot near Brookline, MA

Everyone over the age of 6 months should receive their annual flu shot to prevent the spread of the flu, and avoid severe illness if you do contract the flu. Because the flu virus mutates with time, getting an updated flu vaccine every year ensures that you're protected against the most prevalent strain of the flu. The flu can quickly spread from person to person through direct contact, airborne droplets released by coughs and sneezes, and by touching a surface contaminated with the virus.

Certain individuals are not eligible to receive the flu vaccine. This includes children under 6 months and anyone who has had a severe allergic reaction to the vaccine in the past. In order to protect those in the community who cannot receive their annual flu vaccine, vaccinating yourself and your family is essential.
