Bookings for flu vaccination clinics after Easter.

Key Takeaways for Timing:
Optimal Time: April or May is considered the "sweet spot" to maximize protection.

Never Too Late: Vaccination is still beneficial even in mid-season, as the virus circulates for months.

Children's Timing: Children aged 6 months to 9 years receiving their first vaccination require two doses, one month apart, so they should start earlier.

Pregnancy: Pregnant women can be vaccinated at any stage of pregnancy, though earlier or during the third trimester is optimal to pass immunity to the newborn.

Peak Effectiveness: The highest protection occurs 3–4 months following vaccination
