Flu season is on its way. Get a flu shot.

Flu season is right around the corner. Do what you can to protect yourself and the community: get vaccinated against seasonal influenza. Vaccination has been shown to reduce the risk of flu illnesses, hospitalizations, and even the risk of flu-related death in children. Talk to your health care provider or go to a local pharmacy to get vaccinated. Vaccines are available for ages 6 months and up. Let’s work together to keep the community safe and people out of the hospital.

The flu vaccine takes two weeks to become fully effective – so now’s the time to protect yourself and those around you.
