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.
However, as long as flu viruses are circulating, vaccination should continue throughout the flu season. Flu season usually peaks between December and February, but activity can last as late as May. Early immunization is the most effective, but it is not too late to get the vaccine in January or beyond.
