What Is the Flu Vaccine?
he annual influenza vaccine is updated each year to protect against the flu strains most likely to circulate during the upcoming season. Flu vaccination is recommended for virtually all adults and is one of the most cost-effective ways to prevent illness, reduce hospitalizations, and protect vulnerable people in your community, including young children and the elderly.
The CDC recommends annual flu vaccination for everyone 6 months and older. The best time to get vaccinated is before flu season peaks — typically by the end of October — though receiving the vaccine later in the season still provides meaningful protection. Dr. Rao’s office administers flu shots throughout the season and can advise on high-dose formulations for patients over 65.
