Also, please note that the COVID-19 vaccination does not collide with the flu shot, and you can get both vaccines together.

How Does the Flu Shot Work?

You are at 50% lower risk if you have had your vaccine in a time!
Antibodies are produced in your body in reaction to the viral protein injected into your body in the form of a Flu vaccine.
The vaccine trains your body’s immune system to take Flu as a threat and react accordingly by stimulating a protective response. This process usually takes almost 2 weeks to start an effective response mechanism at the fullest.
It’s not necessary that each individual has the same results from the vaccine, and effectiveness may vary from person to person. It’s always suggested to get the shot before the symptoms start or even before the flu season begins to get the best results.
