A few quick facts about flu**

When is flu season?

 

In the United States, flu season usually occurs in the fall and winter. While influenza viruses spread year-round, flu activity often begins to increase in October. Most of the time flu activity peaks between December and February according to the CDC.

What's in the flu vaccine? 


Flu shots are made with either inactivated (killed) viruses, or with only a single protein from the flu virus. According to the CDC, flu vaccines cannot cause flu illness.

How long does flu shot protection last?


The body’s immunity to influenza viruses (acquired either through natural infection or vaccination) declines over time. According to the CDC, getting vaccinated each year provides the best protection against flu throughout flu season.
