Health officials say it's the time of the year to get your flu vaccinations. Spokeswoman for the Illinois Department of Public Health, Melaney Arnold, says the flu season typically runs from October through May. This year, you'll only get one shot. Last year, the state agency and the Centers for Disease Control recommended both a seasonal flu shot plus a vaccine for the H1N1 strain. This year, the H1N1 strain is included in the seasonal flu shot.
