The Flu & Vaccination

Getting a flu (influenza) vaccine is an easy way to protect yourself, your loved ones, and your community from flu. We are stronger when we are all protected! 

What steps can I take to prevent the flu?

  •  Get vaccinated as recommended.
  • Practice healthy habits to help stop the spread: wash hands often, stay home when sick if possible, cover coughs and sneezes, and consider wearing a mask if you or a household member are at increased risk of severe illness and to prevent the spread.
  •   Treat with prescription medication if recommended by a healthcare professional.
  • Learn more on these pages: CDC:About Flu, CDPH: Influenza (Flu), and CDC: Prevent Flu.

Who can get the flu vaccine?

Where can I get my flu vaccine?

Why is it recommended to get both the flu vaccine and COVID-19 vaccine?

  • Influenza (Flu) and COVID-19 are both contagious respiratory illnesses, but they are caused by different viruses. Both viruses can cause health problems ranging from mild symptoms to illnesses requiring hospitalization and medical support measures.
  • As both flu and COVID-19 continue to circulate this fall and winter, getting flu and COVID-19 shots can protect you and your family! 
  • Flu vaccines can be given at the same time as other recommended vaccines, such as COVID-19 and RSV (if eligible).
