Who should get a flu shot:** The flu program identifies specific groups of people who should get vaccinated each year, such as older adults, young children, pregnant women, and people with certain health conditions. Check the letter to see if you're in one of these groups.
✓
Get vaccinated during flu season:** If you're eligible, plan to get your flu vaccine in the fall before flu season starts (usually around September to November). Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about scheduling your appointment.
