Flu Season - When to Get Shots, CDC Recommendations - AARP

Have you gotten your flu shot? ? D. Hurst/Alamy

Each year, people age 65 and older have the highest rates of influenza-related deaths and hospitalizations, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "The best time to get the shot is before the flu starts circulating where you live," says Lisa Grohskopf, medical officer in the CDC's Influenza Division. The season generally runs from October through May.

The CDC recommends an annual flu vaccination for everyone, starting at age 6 months, with only a few exceptions for people with rare health conditions.
