Why Do I Need a Flu Shot?
The flu vaccine protects your body from getting the flu, even if you’ve been exposed to the virus. Once you receive the shot, your immune system gets to work, producing antibodies that help to fight against infection. The flu vaccine changes from year to year because the viruses that may have been prevalent in strains of the flu last year may be different this year.
When you receive a flu shot, it can take up to two weeks for antibodies to build up in your body and fully protect you from influenza. This is why it’s so important to get your flu shot as early as possible, typically at the beginning of fall, so you are properly protected once the flu season is in full swing.
