2025 Flu Season is Here – What Texans Should Know
Fall is just around the corner, and with it comes flu season! At Clinic Concierge, we’ve already started seeing flu cases pop up in Dallas, Houston, Fort Worth, and Austin, so now is the perfect time to think about protecting yourself and your loved ones. The flu can spread quickly, and staying ahead of it with vaccination and simple preventive habits is key to keeping your family healthy.
Why We Watch Australia
You might wonder why we pay so much attention to the flu “down under.” Australia’s flu season happens during their winter, which is six months ahead of ours, making it a helpful preview for what the U.S. can expect. This year, Australia experienced an early and active flu season, with higher than usual cases. While patterns aren’t always exactly the same, historically, a severe season in Australia often signals a busy flu season here in Texas. Knowing this helps us prepare our clients and families in advance.
Flu Shots Are Now Available
Good news—Clinic Concierge now has flu shots ready for our clients! We recommend getting vaccinated in September, which gives your body enough time to build immunity before flu activity ramps up. Vaccinating early is one of the simplest and most effective ways to protect yourself, your children, and your household.
- Flu shot cost: $60 per person
- Concierge fee: $150 (shared among household members)
Our convenient in-home service makes it easy for busy families to get vaccinated without the hassle of waiting rooms or crowded clinics.
What to Do If Flu Symptoms Start
Even with vaccination, it’s possible to catch the flu. If you or a family member starts experiencing flu-like symptoms—such as fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, or fatigue—call Clinic Concierge right away.
Early testing is crucial because:
- It helps prevent the spread of the virus to other household members or coworkers
- It allows you and your family to receive prescriptions and treatment sooner, which can lessen the severity of the illness and speed up recovery
Getting help quickly can make a big difference in keeping everyone in your home healthy.
Simple Ways to Stay Protected
Along with vaccination and early care, you can reduce the spread of illness by:
- Washing your hands often and covering coughs and sneezes
- Staying home if you feel sick
- Keeping your household up to date on vaccines, including flu and other seasonal vaccines
