Do you need a flu shot?
Everyone over the age of 6 months should have a flu shot every year. It is especially important for:
- Children under 5
- Seniors over 65
- People with certain health conditions, including asthma, diabetes, heart disease, lung disease, HIV/AIDS, and cancer
- Caregivers
When should you have a flu shot?
You can have a flu shot any time during flu season. Flu season can last from October to May. Getting your shot earlier in the season gives you more protection.
How can you get a flu shot?
Your primary care provider can give a flu shot. You can also have one at a network pharmacy. To find one near you, call 1-866-505-6264 or visit fideliscare.org/findadoctor.
