Who should get a flu vaccine?

  • Everyone 6 months and older should get a flu vaccination, with rare exceptions.
  • Other at-risk populations.
  • You should get a flu vaccine once every 12 months.

What are the benefits of getting the flu vaccine?

  • It can help your immune system fight off different types of flu, including some bird flu strains.
  • If you do get the flu after getting the flu vaccine, the symptoms are likely to be less severe. While the seasonal flu vaccine isn't a perfect match for avian flu, it can still make you less likely to get seriously sick if you do come into contact with it.
  • Flu vaccination can reduce the risk of flu-associated hospitalization.
  • It helps protect the people around you who are more vulnerable to serious flu illness.
  • For more information on flu vaccine benefits, see the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) website.
