Yearly flu vaccination is the best tool currently available to protect against influenza (flu).
While how well the flu vaccine works can vary, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends a yearly flu vaccination as the first and most important step in protecting against flu and its potentially serious complications. Millions of people have safely received flu vaccines for decades. Flu vaccination can reduce flu illnesses, doctors’ visits, and missed work and school due to flu, as well as prevent flu-related hospitalizations.
Recent studies* by CDC researchers and other experts indicate that flu vaccine reduces the risk of doctor visits due to flu by approximately 60% among the overall population when the vaccine viruses are like the ones spreading in the community.
A flu vaccination does not guarantee protection against the flu. Some people who get vaccinated might still get sick. However, people who get a flu vaccine are less likely to get sick with flu than someone who does not get vaccinated.
There are lots of reasons to get a flu vaccine each year.
*A list of references for the research studies mentioned above is available on the CDC website http://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/qa/benefit-publications.htm.
The benefits of flu vaccination can vary. The most important factors that affect how well the flu vaccine works include:
The “match” between the flu vaccine and the flu viruses that are spreading that season; and
Factors such as the age and overall health of the person being vaccinated. For example, olderpeople with weaker immune systems may respond less well to vaccination.Experts are working to create flu vaccines that work better, but existing flu vaccines still offer important health benefits to the community.
The following is a list of all the health and age factors that are known to increase a person’s risk of getting serious complications from the flu:
It is especially important that these people get a flu vaccine and seek medical treatment quickly if they get flu symptoms.
