Frequently asked flu shot questions

Who should get a flu shot?

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends that all individuals 6 months and older be vaccinated each year.

If I received a COVID-19 vaccine or booster, do I need a flu shot, since they are both viruses?

Yes, influenza and COVID-19 are different viruses, requiring different vaccines to protect you.

How far apart do I need to schedule my flu shot and COVID-19 vaccine or booster?

Your flu vaccine and COVID-19 vaccine or booster can be received at the same time, in any order, at any interval.

Can the flu shot make me sick or give me the flu?

No. The flu shot is made from an inactivated virus that can’t cause an infection. The flu shot can cause a sore arm. People who get sick with flu right after receiving a flu vaccination were likely going to get sick anyway from a recent exposure to someone with the flu. It takes about two weeks to get protection from the vaccine. The flu shot also only protects against influenza, so you can still get a cold after you get the vaccine
