Time to get your FLU shot! Sept and Oct per the AARP

Fall is fast approaching and the cold weather brings a whole new flu season. It's time to re-up on your flu shot and stay protected from this contagious virus. Why do you need a new vaccine each year? The flu virus evolves so quickly that last year's vaccine may not protect you from this year's strains. Getting a yearly flu vaccine is the most effective way to reduce and prevent your chances of coming down with the flu. Here's what you need to know about the flu vaccine: • September or October is the best time to get the shot • This year's flu vaccine protects against four flu strains, lessening your chance of getting sick • It takes 2 weeks after vaccination for an adult to develop disease-fighting antibodies against the flu, so plan ahead • The CDC recommends annual flu vaccines for everyone 6 months and older We make getting your flu vaccine easy—and at no cost to you. Get your vaccine at any of our Preferred retail pharmacies or from your doctor.
