The U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) continues to recommend "universal" flu vaccination, meaning that everyone 6 months and older should get a flu vaccine each year. While everyone should get a flu vaccine each flu season, it’s especially important that certain people get vaccinated either because they are at high risk of having serious flu-related complications or because they live with or care for people at high risk for developing flu-related complications. It takes two weeks for your body to develop the protective antibodies and the vaccine lasts throughout the entire flu season. The 2011-2012 flu vaccine will protect against three different flu viruses: an H3N2 virus, an influenza B virus and the H1N1 virus that caused so much illness two easons ago.
