IF you want to get one, you should probably do it ASAP. Like another poster said, don't get it just to get it. I rarely get sick, with or without shots. So I didn't get it. Some people may tell you to get it either way because "you never know, you could get it." But I took my chances without a flu shot last year, the year before that, the year before that...and I didn't get the flu.
Also, it depends on the environment in which you will be immersed through winter. If you work in a very communal area (ex. an office with cubicles), you are more exposed than if you work by yourself in an office. Also, if you have children, they will be more prone to being exposed in school. And they could carry it back home. So take into accoutn factors like that when deciding what to do...
GOOD LUCK!!

Well...how old are you? Are you in an environment where there is alot of illness? Do you have a weakened immune system? If you are young and the other answers are NO I wouldn't get one. Seems that the people that end up with the flu are the ones who get the shot to prevent it.

YOU CAN GET THE SHOT ANYTIME DURING THE FALL. MOST CLINICS START GIVING THE SHOTS IN OCT & NOV.
THE FLU HITS THE HARDEST FROM DEC-MARCH IT TAKES A FEW WEEKS TO BUILD IMMUNITY TO THE FLU SHOT .
GOOD LUCK

If you are going to get one, you should probably go ahead and do so.
