HOW IT WORKS

How the Flu Vaccine Works

Protection timeline for your flu vaccination

Step 15 minutes

Get Your Flu Jab (Day 0)

Step 210-14 days

Immunity Development (Days 1-14)

Your body produces antibodies to fight flu viruses. Full protection develops over 10-14 days after your flu jab.

Step 3Full season protection

Winter Protection (Months)

ANNUAL VACCINATION

Why You Need a Flu Jab Every Year

Flu Viruses Change Annually

Flu viruses mutate constantly. Each year's flu vaccine is updated to match the strains predicted to circulate. Last year's vaccine may not protect against this year's strains.

Immunity Decreases Over Time

Protection from your flu vaccination gradually decreases. Annual flu jabs at Sheffield Wellness Clinic ensure optimal protection each winter.

Best Time for Flu Jabs

September to early November 2026 is ideal, giving you protection before flu season peaks (December 2026-February 2027). However, it's never too late - getting vaccinated later still offers worthwhile protection.
