By Laura Gibson


Influenza is a widespread disease and almost anyone can get affected by it. Some people are affected by flu to a minor level but those individuals who are at a higher risk, can contract severe illnesses and in some cases death occurs as well. This is the reason why every year throughout the city of Washington, DC different clinics run to give flu shots DC.

The health care organizations give priority to those people who are considered to be at a higher risk of catching flu. The reason why they're given priority is because if they catch the virus, their health is affected in a severe way as compared to an individual who is fit and in good health.

Those who fall under the category of high risk patients include small children, pregnant women and old age people. Besides that people suffering from illnesses like cancer, diabetes or other ailments are also prioritized.

For the most part, those people who qualify under the high hazard classification, are given this antibody free of expense.

While the individuals who don't fall under this particular classification would need to pay for their inoculation. This is a reason why numerous individuals don't much consider completing it.

Regardless of the possibility that you need to pay, the expense is simply insignificant so its better to complete it so you stay secured all through this season's flu virus season.

A typical flu season runs from early October to early April and the flu shot clinics are started from early October which means right from the beginning of the season. Try to get your vaccine as early as you can because during the later months, many clinics run out of their stock and the next batch is not available until the next year. Also, if you get it done during the early months, that means you would be protected throughout the season.

There are various different viruses that could become the cause of influenza. Therefore, every year specific viruses are identified and the vaccination is prepared accordingly so that it could become a protection against those viruses. This is the reason why every year, new vaccination is made.
