Do your part, get the flu vaccine.
With the persistence of COVID-19, the flu vaccine is more important than ever. Getting vaccinated not only protects you and your loved ones from the flu, but also helps our already overwhelmed healthcare system by reducing the number of medical visits and hospitalizations due to the flu. By doing our part, we can reduce this burden and support the frontlines during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Do I really need the flu vaccine?

Do I need to get the flu vaccine earlier this year due to COVID-19?
No, the best time to get your flu vaccine is still September and October. The CDC recommends not to get it any earlier, because of the increased likelihood of less protection later in the flu season.

Flu vaccines have a good safety record and have been around for over 50 years, protecting hundreds of millions of Americans. The vaccines have also been shown to reduce illness, medical visits and influenza-related hospitalizations. Learn more from the CDC about the safety of flu vaccines here.
