 web posted October 30, 2007 PSA - AIKEN – The best way to prevent the flu or lessen its effects is to get a flu shot. According to the CDC, the ideal time to be immunized against the flu is as early as October, however, November or December are also acceptable times, since it takes 10 to 14 days after immunization to reach peak levels of immunity. The flu season usually is over by early to mid-February, and the real flu season with large numbers of confirmed cases does not begin ordinarily until the middle of December. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also recommends that those at high risk for the flu and its complications, as well as those not at risk, should get their flu shots in October or November, though it is not too late to get vaccinated in December. Those at high risk include:
Aiken Regional Medical Centers in partnership with the Family Pharmacy will offer flu shots at the ARMC Health Information Center in the Aiken Mall on Thursday, November 1 and Saturday November 3 from 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. There is a $30 fee. Flu shots are covered by Medicare and Medicare will be billed. ©
