Can Everyone Get Vaccinated Against the Flu? Flu Shot Eligibility near Malden, MA

It is widely recommended by healthcare professionals that everyone over the age of 6 months receive their annual flu shot. Because the flu virus mutates over time, getting the flu shot 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.

There are certain groups which are not eligible for the flu vaccine including 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 to develop herd immunity.
