When Should I Get the Flu Vaccine?

For optimal protection against the flu, we recommend getting your flu vaccination at The Village GP Black Rock before the flu season starts, ideally in April or May. This timing allows your body to build strong immunity, so you’re fully protected during the peak flu months, which typically run from June to September. Getting vaccinated early not only helps reduce your risk of illness but also ensures you stay healthy and safeguarded throughout the flu season.
