It’s always a good idea to ask your doctors about decisions regarding your health care. Especially if you are taking other medications or have other health issues.
Many health professionals however recommend that the best time to get a flu shot is typically in early fall, ideally between September and October. This timing allows your body to build up immunity before the flu season peaks, which usually occurs from December to February.
However, getting vaccinated later in the season can still be beneficial, as the flu virus can circulate as late as spring. It’s generally recommended to get vaccinated before the end of October, but if you miss that window, it’s still a good idea to get the shot whenever it becomes available.
