I had been waiting for at least a second outbreak so as to not be posting re. only a fluke, but now we unfortunately have this. Two American colleges now have student flu outbreaks and are commencing vaccinations, in early September. See http://www.kgun9.com/news/local-news/flu-season-makes-early-appearance-on-ua-campus and also http://www.hattiesburgamerican.com/story/news/education/usm/2017/09/01/southern-miss-health-officials-urge-campus-flu-vaccinations-sudden-outbreak-reported/625073001/
No, I do not recommend getting flu vaccine this early unless you live near an outbreak. But if these keep up, I may move my November injection into early October. The severe Australian outbreak could mean we in the U.S may get it early! Or these could be flukes. |

Flu shots start here in Orange County Kaiser Permanente on September 27th. There's already been a spike in cases in Orange County, starting last month. I will most likely get mine in early October too. I've already been sick, but I think I had a summer cold, not the flu.

Walgreens called and said they had the new flu vaccine three weeks ago. I got my shot last Sat. Sept 2. so I have one more week until I am "protected". I know a lot of people do not believe in the flu shot especially my friends at work but I do it just in case.
When the southern hemisphere is in a bad flu season I always get my shot early. |
