Everyone over the age of 6 months should have a flu shot every year. It is especially important for:

People with certain health conditions, including asthma, diabetes, heart disease, lung disease, HIV/AIDS, and cancer
Caregivers

When should you have a flu shot?

You can have a flu shot any time during flu season. Flu season can last from October to May. Getting your shot earlier in the season gives you more protection.
