Recent research has revealed that your birth month may influence your susceptibility to influenza. A study in the U.S. found that children born in October are more likely to get vaccinated against the flu during the same month and are at a reduced risk of contracting influenza. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends influenza shots annually for individuals aged 6 months and older, with the ideal time for vaccination being September or October. The study used data from health insurance claims of over 800,000 children to demonstrate that October is the best month for young children to receive the flu shot.
