As the weather gets colder and flu season picks up, it’s important to protect yourself and your loved ones. If you haven’t gotten your flu shot yet—don’t worry! November is still a great time to get vaccinated.
The flu shot helps your body fight off the flu virus. It can keep you from getting sick or make your symptoms much milder if you do catch the flu. It’s especially important for older adults, young children, and people with health conditions.
Getting your flu shot now means you’ll be protected through the winter months when the flu is most active. Many pharmacies and doctors’ offices offer flu shots, and it only takes a few minutes. And, the great news is TRICARE covers the flu vaccine at no cost to you at pharmacies, doctors' offices, and military hospitals and clinics.
