As cooler weather approaches, so does flu season. The best way to protect yourself, your family, and your community is by staying up-to-date with your vaccinations. At Outlier Health & Wellness in Fresh Meadows, Queens, we make it easy to get your annual flu shot and review any vaccines you may need.
Why Flu Shots Matter
Reduce illness: Flu vaccines lower the risk of infection and serious complications.
Protect vulnerable groups: Older adults, young children, and people with chronic conditions are at higher risk for hospitalization.
Community protection: Getting vaccinated helps reduce the spread of flu in schools, workplaces, and neighborhoods.
Other Important Vaccines to Consider
During your flu shot visit, we also review your vaccine history to keep you up-to-date:
Pneumonia vaccine (recommended for older adults and certain conditions)
Shingles vaccine (recommended for adults 50+)
Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis) booster every 10 years
HPV vaccine (for younger adults, if not completed)
When Should You Get Your Flu Shot?
The CDC recommends getting vaccinated by the end of October for the best protection, but flu shots remain effective throughout flu season. At Outlier Health & Wellness, we begin offering flu shots each September to ensure our patients are protected early.

Review your medical history and risk factors
