August: A great time to get vaccinated. Vaccines protect you all year round, but August is a great time to get vaccinated. In August, as summer winds down, itâs a good time for you and your family to make plans to get the flu vaccine. The vaccine usually becomes available in mid- to late-August.
A complete list of influenza vaccines that are available for the 2015-2016 season can be found on CDCâs influenza website. Your childâs health care provider will know which vaccines are right for your child. 1  CDC recommends that everyone 6 months of age and older get a seasonal flu vaccine.2  Keep in mind that vaccination is especially important for certain people who are high risk or who are in close contact with high risk persons.hildren aged 6 months up to their 5th birthday. It is estimated that each year in the United States, there are more than 20,000 children 1 younger than 5 years old who are hospitalized due to flu. Even children in this age group who are otherwise healthy are at risk simply because of their age.
