Dean’s Professional Services' employees working in a healthcare environment are required to return a flu declination form or an updated flu shot record to the DPS Human Resources department by October 31, 2022.

September and October are generally good times to get vaccinated.

The recommended timing of vaccination is similar to last season. For most people who need only one dose for the season, September and October are generally good times to get vaccinated. Vaccination in July and August is not recommended for most adults but can be considered for some groups. While ideally it’s recommended to get vaccinated by the end of October, it’s important to know that vaccination after October can still provide protection during the peak of flu season.

Annual flu vaccination is recommended for everyone 6 months and older.

Annual flu vaccination is recommended for everyone 6 months and older, with few exceptions as has been the case since 2010. New this season, however, is a preferential recommendation for the use of higher dose and adjuvanted flu vaccines in people 65 and older over standard dose, unadjuvanted flu vaccines.
