Get a Flu Vaccine on Your Schedule in Wildwood, NJ
In the wake of three difficult “Covid winters,” the current season of respiratory illness in the United States rivals some of the worst cold and flu seasons on record. And this year’s “tripledemic”—which includes Covid-19, influenza, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)—started even earlier than usual.
According to experts, the available flu vaccine is a good match for the currently circulating influenza strains. Flu shots provide some protection against infection, but they are most effective at protecting against severe illness. Additionally, for those who have already had the flu, a vaccine can protect against other strains that they have not yet been exposed to.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends an annual flu shot for most people. Because the antibodies in the influenza vaccine take approximately two weeks to become effective against the virus, it is best to be vaccinated by mid-October, before the height of flu season.
