Yes! 6 months and older are eligible – even healthy people can get the flu.
Who should get a flu shot?

Flu season starts in October in the U.S. While there’s some concern that immunity might wane before the end of flu season in May if you get the vaccine too early, there’s not enough data to know the optimal time to get the shot, Grohskopf says.
