There is no reason to delay flu shots till October so that it can last till March. Your kids will mostly fall ill in Sept, Oct, Nov and Dec - when school opens, and when there is much holiday travelling.
It all calms down by Jan, Feb, March - because people get immunity. So, don't wait for your flu vaccine. [/
This makes no sense. Flu shots protect against one virus and it typically doesn’t start cropping up until several months into the school year. That flu shot does nothing to stop the million other cold viruses circulating. And historically, flu has not “calmed down” in Jan and Feb.
Pp again. To be clear, I think everyone should get flu shots. But doing it in august instead of October isn’t strategic and definitely does not stop people from getting worn down by other viruses.
