About the Flu Shot in Chevy Chase, 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.

When to Get a Flu Shot

Flu season runs October through March and hits its peak December through February. When protecting yourself from the virus, it is best to get your shot before the season is in full force. We recommend getting your shot as early as possible to prevent a future viral infection; however, vaccinations are available all season long.

At Fast Track Urgent Care, we accept both scheduled flu shots as well as walk-ins. Get your flu shot today before you or a close one catches the virus!
