Stay Up To Date for Optimum Protection
This year’s COVID-19 vaccines are different from prior COVID vaccines. They target a specific mutation of the virus called XBB.1.5 and its related variants and are expected to provide protection against strains linked to an increase in cases and hospitalizations over the summer.
The CDC has 6 Things to Know about COVID-19 Vaccination for Children.
It's Not Too Late!
Get Your Flu Shot Before You Get The Flu
Ideally, everyone 6 months and older should be vaccinated by the end of October. However, vaccination after October can still provide protection during the peak of flu season. It takes 2 weeks for the body to develop antibodies against flu virus infection.
Some children 6 months to 8 years old need two doses of flu vaccine. If your child getting vaccinated for the first time, or has previously received only one dose of flu vaccine, should get two doses of the flu vaccine. For those children it is recommended they get the first dose as soon as vaccine is available, because the second dose needs to be given at least 4 weeks after the first dose.

Flu Vaccines Can Take Flu From Wild to Mild
Flu can be wild. But a flu vaccine can tame flu’s more serious symptoms — reducing the risk of serious illness and flu-related hospitalization in children.
