- When you get vaccinated, you help protect those around you at risk for severe illness and who may not be eligible to receive a flu vaccine
- Flu vaccine does not cause flu-like symptoms
- The flu shot protects in about two weeks.
- High-dose flu vaccine is available for individuals age 65 and older. It contains four times as much antigen as the regular flu shot and affords seniors a greater antibody response
- No vaccine is 100% effective. Although you may still get the flu after being vaccinated, you are less likely to have severe symptoms and complications from the illness
People are urged to follow standard illness-prevention steps:
- Wash hands frequently with soap and water or alcohol-based hand sanitizer;
- Cover coughs and sneezes;
- Stay home if sick
