Flu Shots in New Providence, NJ
Flu season is here! Make sure your family is prepared with flu shots from Your Kids Urgent Care in New Providence, NJ.
Children are especially susceptible to flu and related complications, so it’s important for your kids to be protected this flu season. The best protection you can give to them is a flu vaccine. There are several different circulating strains each year, so this vaccine is not always 100% effective, but it can actually help shorten or lessen flu symptoms if a vaccinated person does come down with it. Any protection against the flu is better than no protection, so the CDC still recommends annual flu shots. We strive to provide vaccinations that protect against the several strains expected for that particular year.
FAQ’s about Flu Shots
Who should get a flu shot?
- All children 6 months of age and older
- All caregivers and household contacts to help protect those who can’t receive a flu vaccine or those with high-risk medical conditions
When should my child get a flu shot?
- The CDC recommends vaccinating as soon as flu vaccine is available
- Flu season can start as early as October, but usually peaks between January and March.
Do children need a flu vaccine every year?
Yes, everyone who is able to have a flu shot should do so each year. There are 2 main reasons for the reoccuring need:
- Immune protection from vaccination declines over time, so annual vaccination is needed for the best protection.
- Flu viruses are constantly changing, therefore the vaccines may be updated from one season to the next to protect against the viruses that research suggests could be most common during the upcoming flu season.

Annual flu vaccinations...
- can keep you from getting sick with the flu
