Why get a flu shot every year?
- Flu viruses change constantly: New strains emerge each year, making it essential to get a vaccine that matches the current strains.
- Protection for yourself and others: Vaccination not only protects you but also helps prevent the spread of the flu to others, especially those who are at high risk for complications.
- Reduced severity of illness: Even if you do get the flu after vaccination, the symptoms are often milder.
- Protection for at-risk populations: Certain groups, such as the elderly, young children, pregnant women, and people with underlying health conditions, are at a higher risk of severe flu complications. Vaccination can help protect these individuals.
