Flu needn’t spoil the start of the new year, say U.S. health officials who urge children and adults to get vaccinated.
“Most of the flu season is still ahead of us, so it’s not too late to get vaccinated,” said Dr. Joseph Bresee of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
But, get the shot soon because it can take several weeks to produce enough antibodies to give you maximum protection, the agency notes.
