Flu is steadily increasing across the nation, and especially in the South, according to the latest nationwide statistics from the CDC. It’s not too late to get a flu shot to help you and your family stay protected. Flu shots take about two weeks to produce maximum effectiveness, so vaccination against the flu today can mean a healthier and happier holiday. On average, flu vaccination reduces your chance of getting the flu by about half, and means you’re less likely to become severely ill or be hospitalized from the flu, even if you do get sick. Flu protection is especially important for younger children, pregnant women, older adults, and those with a chronic illness.
Find a flu shot at your local pharmacy, neighborhood clinic, or from your physician. Children and qualifying adults can receive flu shots from any of our county health departments. Find a location near you that offers flu shots with https://vaccinefinder.org/
Stay protected against flu ahead of the holidays by:
• getting a flu shot
• washing your hands frequently and thoroughly
• staying home if you are sick
