Don’t Put It Off
Make sure to do some research on the flu if you are debating getting your flu shot this year. It is a common misconception for people who have never had the flu to believe the flu is a type of cold or something they can manage. The truth is, the flu is a very serious and dangerous disease if untreated the flu can potentially be fatal.; young children and elders are at high risk during flu season. The dangers of the flu are not talked about as frequently as in the past because of the current flu shots we have and the number of flu cases declining every year, due to the breakthrough in flu medication.
You Need It Every Year
If you have received the flu shot last year, you will still need to get it this year. The flu virus comes back in a new strain each year, this means the current flu shot you have gotten the year before will not help protect you from this year’s flu. Depending on when you get the flu shot, you may need to come back for another shot at the end of flu season. A flu shot typically lasts 5-7 months, however, if by the end of flu season you have others around you getting the flu we recommend you come in and get another shot.
