When Is Peak Flu Season?
Flu vaccines are updated annually because flu viruses change from year to year. The only way to be protected each year is to get an annual flu vaccine.
October or November is a great time to get vaccinated, but getting your shot in December or even later can still protect you. Most years flu activity peaks in this area during February and March. But flu season can extend as late as May.
