While the severity of influenza (flu) season varies, each year across the US, millions of people get sick from flu, hundreds of thousands are hospitalized, and tens of thousands die from flu and related complications. The best way to protect against serious flu-related illness is to get the flu vaccine by Halloween every year!

Remember, flu vaccines can help take flu from wild to mild!
