When is flu season?

In the Northern Hemisphere, it is October through March(some say through April) for the "seasonal flu".In the Southern Hemisphere, it happens in the opposite time of year from the Northern Hemisphere. It is in the Southern Hemisphere's winter (during the US summer) from April through September.There can be differences between climates within each of the hemispheres, too. For example, in the US in Texas, flu season is from November to to April, while in Iowa, flu season is from December to April.Seasonal flu vaccinations should be obtained any time beginning in September through March to be effective for that season in the Northern Hemisphere.See the related question in the related questions section about why the flu has a season. Interestingly, you will see that in some locations in the world the flu season is during the warmer times and not in fall and winter. It is more the effect of absolute humidity and not the temperature itself that makes that difference. In areas with the flu season in warmer months, the absolute humidity is lower then, making the dry conditions that influenza viruses prefer despite warm temperatures. In the US, the absolute humidity levels are lowest during the peak of the flu season in January and February, the colder season.
