A yearly flu vaccine is recommended for everyone 6 months and older – even during the COVID-19 pandemic. Getting a flu vaccine every year is the best way to help prevent flu and its serious complications like hospitalizations. For children, getting an annual flu vaccine can even be lifesaving.
Getting the flu vaccine every year is very important, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Getting the flu vaccine can:
Keep you from getting sick with flu.
Help you and your family members reduce your risk of serious flu illness and flu-related complications, including hospitalization and death.*
Help protect people around you, including those who are more vulnerable to serious flu illness and flu-related complications due to age and/or certain chronic health conditions.
Protect women during and after pregnancy.
