Fox News
With flu season right around the corner, when is the right time to get a flu shot? The CDC and Dr. Marc Siegel share recommendations for optimal protection against the virus.
The agency noted that "ideally, everyone should be vaccinated by the end of October." "It takes about two weeks after the vaccine for antibodies to develop in the body and provide protection against the flu." "Ideally, everyone should be vaccinated by the end of October." Angelica Stabile is a lifestyle reporter for Fox News Digital.
Other groups, including those over 65 years old and pregnant women, should not get vaccinated earlier than September, as protection may decrease over time, the agency said.
