When Does Flu Season Start 2020?
For the last several years, the CDC has consistently recommended you get your annual flu vaccine by the end of October.
Since most cases hit between December and February, it's recommended you and your family receive the flu shot by the end of October or as soon as the vaccine becomes first available.
Pioneer Physicians can help provide specific recommendations for those with egg allergies or other concerns.
What are the side effects of a flu shot?
It's important to know that the flu vaccine cannot cause influenza.
Although, mild side effects are possible. They include fever, headaches and tenderness in the arm where the shot was given. Serious side effects are rare.
Any vaccine carries a very small risk of severe allergic reaction. Go to the ER if you experience difficulty breathing, dizziness, a fast heartbeat or swelling in the face.
