Don’t Wait! Get Your Seasonal Vaccinations Today in Sugar Land, TX

As fall arrives in Sugar Land, cooler mornings and shorter days also signal the start of flu season. This time of year, it’s more important than ever to protect yourself and your family from preventable illnesses. Seasonal vaccinations, including the flu shot and other recommended vaccines, play a critical role in keeping our community healthy. At Intouch Primary Care in Sugar Land, TX, we make it easy and convenient to stay up to date.

Why Seasonal Vaccinations Matter

Every year, millions of Americans get sick from the flu, RSV, or other respiratory illnesses that peak in the fall and winter. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the flu alone causes between 9 million and 41 million illnesses each year in the U.S., along with hundreds of thousands of hospitalizations.

Seasonal vaccinations reduce your risk of severe illness, hospitalization, and complications. They also protect vulnerable members of the community, including:

• Older adults
• Children under 5 years old
• People with chronic health conditions like diabetes or asthma
• Pregnant women

Getting vaccinated not only protects you but also helps reduce the spread of illness in schools, workplaces, and neighborhoods across Fort Bend County.

The Flu Shot: Your First Line of Defense

The flu shot is one of the most important seasonal vaccines. Because flu viruses change from year to year, the vaccine is updated annually to target the most common strains.

Timing matters: The CDC recommends getting vaccinated in September or October, before the flu season peaks.

With Sugar Land’s busy community events, like the fall festivals at Sugar Land Town Square and school sports in full swing, it’s easy for germs to spread quickly. A flu shot helps keep you protected while staying active in the community.

Other Seasonal Vaccinations to Consider

In addition to the flu shot, several other vaccines may be recommended depending on your age, health status, and risk factors. These include:

• COVID-19 booster shots – Updated vaccines help protect against new variants.
• Pneumococcal vaccines – Important for older adults and those with chronic conditions.
• Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis) – Recommended every 10 years for adults.
• Shingles vaccine – Advised for adults over 50.

Your provider at Intouch Primary Care will review your vaccination history and ensure you receive the protection you need this season.
