WE HAVE THE INFLUENZA FLU VACCINE!

 

The best way to avoid getting the flu is to get the influenza vaccine each fall (in October or November), before the flu season begins. The vaccine is available by shot or by nasal spray.  The vaccines work by exposing your immune system to the flu virus. Your body will build up antibodies to the virus to protect you from getting the flu. The flu shot contains dead viruses.

You can also reduce your risk of catching the flu by washing your hands frequently, which stops the spread of germs. Eating healthy, exercising and getting enough sleep also play a part in preventing the flu.

 

Research has shown that children less than 5 years of age are at high risk of serious flu-related complications. It’s estimated that more than 20,000 children less than 5 years old are hospitalized due to flu each year in the U.S. Many more have to go to a doctor, an urgent care center, or the emergency room because of flu. Because children are at increased risk of getting severe illness from flu, CDC recommends that all children 6 months up to their 5th birthday get a flu vaccine every fall or winter. Children under 9 getting a flu vaccine for the first time need two doses in the first year.
