The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) continues to stress the importance of annual flu shots for everyone 6 months and older to help prevent the spread of the flu virus, which can be extremely dangerous for some, especially infants, children with asthma and the elderly. The more people who are vaccinated each year, the less flu virus can spread in the community.
Flu season can begin as early as October and last as long as May. The CDC recommends getting a flu shot as soon as it becomes available in the community, as the timing of outbreaks is unpredictable.
The 2012-2013 flu vaccine protects against three strains of the flu virus deemed most prevalent by the World Health Organization. Even if people received a flu shot last year, they still need a vaccination this year as the vaccines are modified annually to address new strains of viruses.
