Flu 2025 Update
Last updated August 28, 2025
It's official – pumpkin spice is back, kids are in school, and the viruses are limbering up for their big season. Let’s talk vaccines.
(Don’t worry — I’m not here to debate politics, except to say: many major physician groups disagree with the new rule that only folks 65+ “need” COVID vaccines.)
The Rundown:
Flu: Everyone 6 months+ should get it. Yes, there’s a DIY nasal flu spray kit this year. Cute idea, but vaccines aren’t like IKEA furniture. They work best when given at a doctor’s office or pharmacy, where we know they’ve been stored and dosed right.
COVID: Currently “official” for 65+ and high-risk groups. Many medical orgs still recommend for kids, pregnant women, and younger adults. Ask your doc if you’re not sure.
RSV: Babies can be protected with mom’s vaccine during pregnancy or an antibody shot after birth. Adults 75+, and 50–74 with health conditions, should get a one-time RSV shot.
Shingles & Pneumonia: If you’re 50+, add these to your list. Shingles can be miserable (think chickenpox that comes back with a vengeance), and pneumonia vaccines protect against some of the nastiest lung infections.
Myths That Need to Retire
“I’m healthy, so I don’t need it.” Viruses don’t care how many push-ups you can do. Also, vaccination is not only about self-preservation, it is about the most vulnerable neighbors and friends who cannot get vaccinated. Our protection protects them.
“Flu shots don’t work.” They aren’t perfect, but they cut your risk of serious illness and hospitalization in half or more. And, it is 100% true that if you are vaccinated and get the flu, your illness will be shorter and much more manageable.
“COVID vaccines are dangerous.” After billions of doses worldwide, they’re safe. COVID itself is the bigger danger.
“I had it already, so I’m good.” Natural immunity helps, but vaccines boost and extend it.
Big Picture
Vaccines are one of the most powerful tools in modern medicine.
Globally, they prevent 4–5 million deaths every year. In the U.S. alone, childhood vaccines have saved hundreds of millions of illnesses and over 20 million lives in the last 30 years.
Bottom line: If you can get vaccinated, please do. Your grandma, your neighbor’s baby, and your future self will thank you.
READY TO
GET YOUR SHOT?
We're so glad.
Patients can walk in, or call or text the office to schedule an appointment. Flu shots take about 10 minutes.
When is too early?
Once there are flu cases, flu season has begun and the sooner you are vaccinated, the better. We are never exactly sure when the ideal time is, but definitely mid-September to October is reasonable this year. And it is always better early or late, than never.
CAN'T FIND
THE TIME?
If you think you don't have time for your flu shot (10 minutes), you definitely don't have time for the flu. Current CDC recommendations have you staying home for 4-5 days. Can you afford that time?
Call us today. Get the shot.

Every year, I encounter dozens of patients who refuse a flu shot. In my career I've been able to successfully refute nearly every anti-flu shot argument using science, which often leads to a change of heart. Not always, but often.
Click through these slides to see some of the most common questions and rationales I hear for not getting the shot. If you're still not convinced, let's talk some more. I'm always eager to listen, learn, and try to ease your fears. I care about your beliefs, and I care about talking through them. The shot is the right thing to do, and it saves lives. You have the power to save lives. No matter what you believe, I believe in you.
