No, It’s Really Not Too Late to Get Your Flu Shot

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that people get a flu vaccine by the end of October. “The longer you wait, the more likely you are to get the flu,” says Sean McNeeley, MD, board president of the Urgent Care Association and medical director at University Hospital Urgent Care Network in Cleveland. If you’ve ever had the flu before, “it’s just not something you ever want to get again,” he adds.
