There is no evidence that there will be a shortage of flu vaccines this year. We do not expect to ration the vaccine or limit it to those at high risk of complications from flu because there should be enough for everyone.
It is important to note that after receiving the flu shot, it takes two weeks to build immunity against the flu. Flu season typically peaks in late January or early February.
It is a good idea for everyone who does not have contra-indications to receive a flu shot.
We should have all the necessary flu vaccine serum by mid November.
Also those who have appointments with their physician can receive a flu shot as part of their visit.
