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.
When people with COPD get the flu, it often turns into something more serious, like pneumonia. A flu vaccine can help prevent this from happening. According to the CDC, the best time to get vaccinated is in October or November. Flu season usually begins in October and typically lasts into May.
