Flu vaccines cause antibodies to develop in the body about two weeks after vaccination. These antibodies provide protection against infection with the viruses that are in the vaccine. The seasonal flu vaccine protects against the influenza viruses that research indicates will be most common during the upcoming season. Below are links to more information about the different type of flu vaccines available.
Now's the Time for Flu Vaccination
It is best to get vaccinated before influenza viruses start to spread in your community. However, as long as flu viruses are circulating, vaccination should continue through the flu season. It takes about two weeks after vaccination for antibodies that protect against flu to develop in the body, so act soon! There are many flu vaccine options, but the most important thing is that you get vaccinated. Talk to your doctor about the best flu vaccine option for you.
