Seniors, pregnant women and chronically ill people are considered high priority groups to receive flu shots. Shots are also recommended for people with weakened immune or cardiovascular systems, or with chronic metabolic diseases, renal dysfunction or blood disorders.
Kids must be 9 years or older to receive a shot and must be accompanied by an adult. Children under 9 years old need two shots, one month apart, and should be seen by a pediatrician.
