As trick-or-treaters gather and communities host festive events, it’s easy for cold, flu and COVID-19 viruses to creep in.

Here’s why vaccinations are this season’s must-have accessory: 

  • Stay Protected at Halloween Gatherings: From door-to-door trick-or-treating to crowded costume parties, close contact with others can spread flu and COVID-19
  • Boost Immunity for the Holidays: October is the best time to get vaccinated, so you’re fully protected for Halloween and the upcoming winter holidays. 
  • Avoid Scary Health Risks: Getting a flu shot and COVID-19 booster now helps prevent illness during the peak infection season.
