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.
Still, a child with an egg allergy should get the flu shot in a doctor's office, not at a supermarket, drugstore, or other venue. If your child is sick and has a fever, talk to your doctor about rescheduling the flu shot. When Should Kids Get the Flu Vaccine? Flu season runs from October to May.
