About the Flu Shot in White Oak, Maryland

Just hearing the word “flu” or “influenza” is enough to make anyone cringe with thoughts of being quarantined in his or her room with a box of tissues and a bottle of Nyquil watching terrible daytime television. Although the length and time of flu season can vary, it generally begins as early as October and peaks in January and February. Flu symptoms include:

• Headache
• Fever
• Extreme fatigue
• Sore throat
• Body aches
• Nasal congestion

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends you get a flu shot once a year. A flu vaccination is not 100 percent effective at preventing the flu because there are many different flu viruses. The flu vaccine protects against the viruses that research suggests will be the most common for that particular flu season.

It’s a good idea to get a flu shot, no matter what time of year it is. A little protection goes a long way, and though flu vaccination can’t protect you completely from getting influenza, it’s still worth it! Remember—it takes about two weeks to build up immunity, so don’t wait until you actually have the flu to get the shot.

Who Needs Flu Shots in White Oak, Maryland

The CDC recommends everyone older than 6 months should get the seasonal flu shot. However, some groups of people are at a higher risk than most.

It’s particularly important you visit a flu shot clinic and get the flu shot in White Oak, Maryland if you:
