For most persons who need only one dose of influenza vaccine for the season, vaccination should ideally be offered during September or October. However, vaccination should continue throughout the season as long as influenza viruses are circulating. Vaccination during July and August is not recommended for most groups. Timing considerations include: For most adults (particularly those aged ≥65 years) and pregnant persons in the first or second trimester, vaccination during July and August should be avoided unless there is concern that later vaccination might not be possible. Children 6 months through 8 years who require 2 doses (Figure) should receive the first dose as soon as vaccine is available. Vaccination during July and August can be considered for children of any age who require only 1 dose. Vaccination in July and August can be considered for pregnant persons who are in the third trimester during these months (see also Influenza Vaccination in Pregnancy). What other references could be used to verify these claims?
