💉 Useful this morning: If a flu shot is on your fall list, this is a good week to check local availability rather than waiting for winter. CDC guidance says September or October is the ideal window for most people who need one dose, with vaccination continuing later while flu viruses circulate. The 2026–27 vaccines are available for people six months and older; ask a healthcare professional about timing or the right option for you.
