The flu shot works by injecting a weakened form of the flu virus so the body will begin developing antibodies to protect against the virus. Each year, flu vaccines are developed to protect against these three primary forms of influenza virus:
Influenza A (H1N1)
Influenza A (H3N2)
Influenza B
When to Get a Flu Shot
The CDC encourages individuals to get vaccinated before the end of October. In the US, flu season typically begins in early October and may run until as late as May. Peak seasons for influenza are December, January, and February.
Both COVID-19 and flu can have varying degrees of signs and symptoms, ranging from no symptoms (asymptomatic) to severe symptoms. Common symptoms that COVID-19 and flu share include:
Fever or feeling feverish/chills
Cough
Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
Fatigue (tiredness)
Sore throat
Runny or stuffy nose
Muscle pain or body aches
Headache
Some people may have vomiting and diarrhea, though this is more common in children than adults
Flu differences: Flu viruses can cause mild to severe illness, including common signs and symptoms listed above.
COVID-19 differences; COVID-19 seems to cause more serious illnesses in some people. Other signs and symptoms of COVID-19, different from flu, may include change in or loss of taste or smell.
People who are moderately or severely ill should usually wait until they recover before getting the flu shot or the updated COVID-19 vaccine. If you are ill, check with your healthcare provider first. People with mild illness can usually receive the vaccine.
The CDC highly recommends flu vaccinations during any stage of pregnancy. If you have questions or concerns, please check with your healthcare provider.
