FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ON ADULT VACCINATION

When to get vaccinated for flu?

Yearly flu vaccination should begin in March or as soon as vaccine is available (January-February) and continue throughout the influenza season (June to September), into December.. This is because the timing and duration of influenza seasons vary. While influenza outbreaks can happen as early as May-June, most of the time influenza activity peaks in August to September or even later.

Who should get vaccinated for flu?

While EVERYONE should get a flu vaccine each flu season, it’s especially important that the following groups get vaccinated either because they are at high risk of having serious flu-related complications or because they live with or care for people at high risk for developing flu-related complications:

Pregnant women

Children younger than 5, but especially children younger than 2 years old

People 50 years of age and older

People of any age with certain chronic medical conditions

People who live in nursing homes and other long-term care facilities

People who live with or care for those at high risk for complications from flu, including:

Health care workers

Household contacts of persons at high risk for complications from the flu

Household contacts and out of home caregivers of children less than 6 months of age (these children are too young to be vaccinated)

Who needs cervical cancer vaccine?

Optimum time: Before onset of sexual intercourse

to be most effective, the HPV vaccine should be given before a person becomes sexually active, and in 3 doses within one year. The Federal Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) has recommended that the vaccine be routinely given to females aged 11 to 12 and as early as age 9 years at the discretion of doctors. The committee also recommended women ages 13 to 26 who have not yet been vaccinated receive "catch-up" vaccinations.
