Once a year
Short answer, at least once per year, sometimes a booster or second dose may be required if the patient received their dose too early in the season, or if a mutation has occurred that the original combination is ineffective.

Flu shot is given yearly.
Annually.
Once every year as the vaccine is targeting the flu virus which is active that particular season

Flu vaccine is yearly.
Once a year per the CDC guidelines.
Yearly
Every year. Although most of the strains in the vaccine don’t match up to the local flu strains in your area, the cross reactivity will still give you some immunity. If you are allergic to eggs, you won’t be able to receive the flu vaccine.
