Who Should Get a Flu Vacine

Flu shots are recommended for all people who want to lower their chances of becoming sick with the flu or spreading the illness. Because influenza vaccines are updated each flu season, you should get a flu shot each year for maximum protection.

The flu shot is approved for use in people 6 months of age and older, including healthy people and people with chronic medical conditions. You cannot get the flu from getting vaccinated

Groups for whom the flu vaccine is highly recommended include:

• All children aged 6-59 months;
• Adults aged 65 years of age and over;
• Adults aged 50-64 years of age;
• Persons aged 2-64 years with underlying chronic medical conditions;
• Persons less than 2 years old with conditions that can cause breathing problems;
• All women who will be pregnant during the influenza season (Pregnant participants must have a release statement (written prescription) from their personal physician);
• Residents of nursing homes and long-term care facilities;
• Children aged 6 months to 18 years on chronic aspirin therapy;
• All healthcare personnel; and
• Out-of-home caregivers and household contacts of persons in the high-risk groups.
