Get Your Child an Early Flu Shot.
The flu season starts in October, but the American
Academy of Pediatrics recommends getting
your child a vaccine sooner rather than later.
For children six months to
eight years old, two shots may
be needed by the end of next month.
Just one shot will do the
trick for ages nine and up.
Florida pediatrician Dr. Jean Moorjani
says getting the shot early will provide
the most protection during flu season.
You won't be fully protected
for about two weeks after you
get the shot. What I say to
patients is to try and get your
appointment by Halloween. , Dr. Jean Moorjani, via 'USA Today'.
The flu was responsible for
killing 129 children during
last year's flu season.
According to 'USA Today,'
the 2018-19 season put a record
number of people in the hospital.
It did not end until April,
making it the longest flu
period in over 10 years
