Not just children, but everyone 6 months and older should get a flu shot by the end of October. https://www.cdc.gov/flu/vaccines/vaccinations.html

The scariest thing this Halloween isn’t ghosts or vampires...it’s the flu! The flu virus spreads quickly and easily and can be especially dangerous for young children. The AAP recommends that all children receive an annual flu vaccine starting at 6 months old to help prevent serious illness and protect communities. Talk with your pediatrician if you have any questions about the flu vaccine.
