According to the CDC, last winter saw the highest number of child deaths from the flu in 15 years. Getting vaccinated in October protects you as flu cases usually rise in November. Nearly everyone age 6 months and older should get a flu shot, especially children, older adults, pregnant women, and people with chronic conditions like asthma or diabetes. While vaccination won't block every infection, it dramatically lowers the risk of severe illness, hospitalization, and complications. Don’t miss a moment this fall and holiday season – call us to schedule your flu shot today!
