Flu Vaccine and Immunization Records

The Flu Vaccine

The influenza virus causes the flu. The flu is a potentially serious disease that can lead to hospitalization and even result in death. Millions of people get the flu every year, some get better, while others have died from flu-related causes yearly. It is recommended that seniors, children, pregnant women, and individuals with a compromised immune system get a flu vaccine every year. The timing that people should receive the flu vaccine is during the early Fall months. It is recommended that people get vaccinated with the flu vaccine by the end of October, if possible, but can get the vaccine even into January. The flu vaccine causes the body to develop antibodies about two weeks after vaccination. The antibodies created in the body are what provide protection against infection with the influenza virus. Each year, researchers will predict the most common influenza viruses and the vaccine will be developed using this information. It is important to get the flu vaccine before the flu viruses begin to spread in your community. Once you get your flu shots, your vaccine should be documented into your medical record.

Get Your Medical and Immunization Records

Every year you get a flu vaccine, it will be recorded into your medical documentations. If you receive other types of immunizations, they are also documented into your medical record. It is very helpful to have copies of your medical records to know all of the immunizations and vaccines you have received and when. Having copies of your medical records will be helpful if you switch providers or require a specialist for your medical care. If you or a family member is starting school or going to college, having copies of the immunization records will be required to be enrolled. Always be prepared with copies of your medical and immunization records.
