How often can you get the flu vaccine?

flu vaccine Recommended Injected once a year. Yes, because the influenza virus keeps changing strains, so a new vaccine needs to be developed every year to best match the strain circulating that year.

• If you have no underlying health problems, you can get vaccinated every year.
• The injections should be spaced approximately one year (12 months) apart.
• It is recommended to get vaccinated "before" the rainy or winter season, as these are often the times when influenza is prevalent.

If boosters are needed during the year (for example, in cases where the vaccine regimen is changed or for people with compromised immune systems), more than one booster dose may be administered annually. However, generally speaking... Once a year is enough. If you have a pre-existing medical condition or are pregnant, you can still get this vaccine. It's safe. You can view our service prices here.
