When Should I Get It?
Peak flu season can start as early as October and run through May. The best time to get a flu shot is as soon as it's available, usually in September or October. It takes about 2 weeks for the vaccine to take effect. You can still get a shot in December or later, but the earlier you get it, the higher your odds of staying well.
