Avoid the twindemic this upcoming winter by getting your flu shot this year.
Right now is the best time to get your flu shot.
Flu season goes through the end of March, and the vaccine’s effectiveness diminishes after about six months, so October is the perfect time to get it,” said Dr. Robert Leverence, chief medical officer for UT Health San Antonio.
The best way to get your flu shot is through your primary care provider's office or through a local pharmacy.
