If anyone were to try to predict a good time to get the vaccine, they should plan to get it before February. February is the peak period of the flu season and getting the vaccine later would be pointless. Doctors would recommend it in October or November. Someone would like to plan a couple of months in advance so that the body has time to accumulate antigens and stimulate the body to resist the flu. Infants, the elderly and those with weakened immune systems due to other illnesses are especially at risk from the flu, so doctors recommend that those specific people be the first to get in line for the vaccine.
