Getting a Flu Shot
Not only is it flu season, but COVID-19 is also spreading in our communities. The flu is highly contagious and easy to catch, so it is crucial to protect yourself from the spread by getting your seasonal flu shot. You are especially encouraged to get the flu vaccine if you are pregnant, older than 65 years of age, under 6 months of age, or if you have a chronic health condition.
How the Flu Affects Peoples
- Influenza is a serious disease that can lead to hospitalization and sometimes even death.
- Every flu season is different, and influenza infection can affect people differently, but millions of people get the flu every year, hundreds of thousands of people are hospitalized and thousands of people die from flu-related causes every year.
- Flu season in the United States can begin as early as October and last as late as May.
- An annual seasonal flu vaccine is the best way to reduce your risk of getting sick with seasonal flu and spreading it to others.
What are the Benefits of Getting the Flu Vaccination?
