This information is from Peter Bauer of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in San Francisco:
Getting the flu shot each year is the single best way to protect yourself and the ones you love from influenza and its complications.
If you have Medicare, a flu shot is one of the many preventive benefits you receive.
Get your flu shot as early as October or anytime through January or February.
