This is what you need to know for the next flu shot

It will take a while before you get a call for the next flu shot, but this might already be useful to know.

Vaccinating in the morning is more effective
British research shows that the flu shot is four times more effective if you get vaccinated between 9 and 11 am.

More antibodies
Two groups of people were compared. One group received the shot between 9 and 11 a.m. Another group between 1 and 5 pm. A month later, the number of antibodies in the blood was measured. That was four times higher in the group that had been vaccinated in the morning.
