If noses are traditionally dripping in autumn and coughing barks are heard, the call for a flu vaccination is not long in coming. It is true that colds are almost always flu-like infections and not the “real” flu, influenza. But cold season is flu season, although the peak of the annual influenza wave is usually in January or February. Vaccination protection exists after 14 days, vaccination is recommended between October and December, but it can still be useful in February.
