October begins RSV and Influenza season in the northern hemisphere and it runs until April. Doctors recommend getting a flu vaccine in mid-September so antibodies can kick in by October.
Viruses can affect anyone of any age but the people of extreme ages have the most difficult time. Premies, infants and toddlers and the elderly but also people who might have health conditions where they can't fight off a respiratory illness very well have a harder time.

LMAO Ontario doesn't make flu shots available until mid-November.
