Should I Be Vaccinated for the Flu?

The flu is a very common illness, especially during flu season, which is typically between October and March. Because the flu is so serious, much more so than the common cold, it’s very important to receive a flu shot, especially because it’s so convenient to simply walk in to AFC Urgent Care The Woodlands and be on your way. Because the flu virus evolves every year, different strains are more prevalent from year to year, meaning you need a yearly vaccine to protect yourself against the flu.

Who should get the flu vaccine in The Woodlands:

  • Healthy adults
  • Pregnant women
  • Healthcare providers
  • Anyone who has a weakened immune system
  • Caregivers of young children
  • Flu shots for seniors 65 or older are also recommended

Are Flu Shots for Children?

According to the CDC children younger than 5 years old, especially younger than 2, are at higher risk of developing serious flu-related complications. Therefore it is recommended that children 6 months or older receive their flu shots every year by the end of October.

You should not be vaccinated for flu if you have an egg allergy or if you’ve had a past adverse reaction to the flu shot.

Is the Flu Shot Effective?

The CDC conducts research on a yearly basis to determine how well the flu vaccine works against preventing the illness. Recent research has indicated a 40-60% success rate in preventing the flu, and of those who contracted it, their symptoms were less severe. In 2017 alone, the flu vaccine prevented an estimated 5.3 million flu cases.

Don’t put it off: Protect yourself and your family by receiving the flu shot once a year!
