Hi everyone!
Flu shot season is coming soon and are staff always get asked, "When is the best time to get my flu shot?"
ApotheCARE & Inspire ApotheCARE Pharmacy typically has flu shots available starting as early as September. Getting vaccinated in September or October helps ensure you're protected before the peak of the flu season while also allowing enough time for the vaccine to build immunity. It generally takes about two weeks for the flu vaccine to become fully effective after vaccination.
While some offer the flu shot as early as August, it may not be as effective when the flu season is at its peak, which is between December and February, and can last until May.
If you have concerns, you can always speak with your healthcare provider to determine the best time for you to get vaccinated based on your individual health and circumstances.
As soon as flu shots are available at our stores, we will post it here on Facebook!!
Until then, stay tuned :)
