Best Time to get Influenza Vaccine ( Flu Shot) in Nepal: Timing and Side Effects
In Nepal, flu activity tends to increase during the cooler months (roughly October to February), especially in Kathmandu and other urban areas.The ideal time to get your flu shot is just before the flu season starts, so your body has time to build protection.A good rule of thumb: aim for September to early October if possible.However, if you miss that window, it’s still beneficial to get vaccinated anytime during the flu season, as long as flu viruses are circulating.
How often should one get Influenza Vaccine(Flu shot)?
The flu vaccine is recommended once every year for everyone aged 6 months and above.This is because Flu viruses change over time, and the vaccine is updated each year to match the most common strains.Protection from the vaccine decreases over time, so an annual dose keeps your immunity strong.

Travelers and students going abroad Get the flu shot at least 2 weeks before travel, especially if you’re going to countries in their flu season. In case of pregnant women Flu vaccination is safe in any trimester and is strongly recommended. Talk to your obstetrician at Sowa about timing.
People with chronic diseases (diabetes, heart, lung, kidney, etc.): You can get the flu vaccine as soon as it’s available each season; earlier is usually better.If you’re currently ill: If you have a moderate or severe illness with high fever, your doctor may advise waiting until you recover.
