Why do I need a flu vaccine every year?

A flu vaccine is needed every season for three reasons:  

First, a person’s immune protection from vaccination declines over time, so an annual vaccine is needed for optimal protection:

Second, because flu viruses are constantly changing, flu vaccines may be updated from one season to the next to protect against the viruses that research suggests may be most common during the upcoming flu season. 

Third, the flu vaccine also helps protect people close to you because you’re less likely to spread the flu to them if you’re vaccinated. 

This year’s Flu Vaccines are available at Centrum Pharmacy. Book an Appointment to get your flu shot today.

For the best protection, everyone 6 months and older should get vaccinated annually.
