Your birth month may influence your susceptibility to influenza, as revealed by recent research. A U.S.-based study discovered 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.
According to the guidelines by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), every individual aged 6 months and older in the U.S. is advised to get an influenza shot annually. The current recommended timeframe for vaccination is September or October.
