Flu Season 2020-2021

El Paso, TX
The El Paso Area Advanced Practice Nurses

It’s not too late to get your flu vaccine and to continue to recommend the flu vaccine to our patients. Please remember the flu season usually peaks between December and  March most years, but the disease can occur as late as May. It is advisable to get your flu vaccine as soon as possible, especially in anticipation of receipt of your COVID-19 vaccine in the future.  

COVID-19 vaccines should be given alone with at least 14 days either before or after you get any other vaccines, including a flu vaccine. A local El Paso resource for flu vaccinations, free of charge to everyone 6 months of age and older is available at http://www.bepowerflu.com/
