I get the flu shot every year but not until early to mid October. Getting it too soon can mean that if the flu arrives late in the season you might not have continuous benefits of being vaccinated. Being vaccinated after mid October doesn’t allow your body to produce enough antibodies to fully protect you should the flu hit early. I have administered hundreds and hundreds of flu vaccines over the years. And remember that if you are allergic to eggs you should not get the flu shot.
