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.
Every fall, millions of U.S. children get flu vaccinations at their pediatricians' offices. The CDC recommends an annual flu vaccine for all Americans who are at least 6 months old. You may have questions about the vaccination. Why can't last year's flu shot protect your child this year? Do you need to get her a separate vaccine for protection against the H1N1 strain?
