🦠 This season, health experts are closely monitoring a new flu strain known as the K variant or "Subclade K". While it may spread more easily, the most important message remains the same: getting your flu vaccine is still the best way to protect yourself and your family.

The flu shot can help reduce the severity of illness, prevent complications, and lower the risk of hospitalization, especially for young children, older adults, pregnant individuals, and people with chronic health conditions.

Protect your health and your community. Find a primary care provider near you and get your flu shot: https://bit.ly/3Fgqz1J
