DPH NEWS RELEASE

Flu activity is widespread and severe across Georgia, and cases are expected to continue rising as people return to work and school after the holidays.

The Georgia Department of Public Health strongly encourages everyone 6 months and older—unless medically unable—to get a flu shot as soon as possible. Vaccination not only helps protect you, but also helps protect older adults, young children, pregnant individuals, and those with chronic health conditions.

Flu symptoms may include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills, and fatigue. Antiviral medications may be available if prescribed early.

Flu shots are widely available at local health departments, doctors’ offices, pharmacies, and clinics.

🛡️ Protect yourself. Protect others. Get your flu shot.
