IS THE FLU SHOT SAFE?
Yes, you need to get a flu shot every year. The flu viruses change from year to year, so the vaccine needs to be different each year to protect you. Flu season can start as early as October, making October through December the best time to get vaccinated. But you can still get vaccinated in December or later because flu season can last as late as May. Any protection against the flu is better than no protection!
