Flu shots are now available through Coos County Family Health Services (CCFHS) at our three medical offices. The flu shot is approved for people aged six months and older, and protects against three strains of virus that have been projected as this season’s greatest risk. Flu vaccinations may be given at the same time as other vaccines, such as pneumonia for those over 65 and measles, mumps and rubella for children.
Influenza is no longer seasonal. Flu vaccines continue to be modified as new threats emerge, and the annual predictions based on past season’s statistics now start as early as June. However, cold weather and the return of school enrollment increase exposure to flu in the fall.The timing of flu is very unpredictable and can vary from season to season. Flu activity most commonly peaks in the U.S. in January or February. However, seasonal flu activity can begin as early as October and continue to occur as late as May.
