The best way to prevent seasonal influenza is to get a flu shot, or vaccination, each year. October through May is the best time to get vaccinated.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), influenza vaccinations are one of the most effective ways for minimizing the spread and risk of infection caused by the flu virus.

Vaccinations are the primary method used to protect against influenza and its potentially severe complications.
