We strongly recommend you and your family take the time to get a flu shot as soon as possible. Why, you ask?
A Few Reasons To Become A Flu Fighter—This Year and Every Year
- Protect your child. Getting the flu vaccine is one of the most effective ways to safeguard your child’s health. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), flu vaccination can reduce the risk of flu-related illnesses, hospitalizations, and even death in children. Need we say more?
- Serve the Community. Vaccinating your family doesn’t just protect you—it helps protect those around you. Whether you plan to visit older family members over the holidays, have pregnant friends, or go about daily activities like grocery shopping, the flu vaccine reduces the risk for vulnerable populations. Newborns, young children, the elderly, and people with chronic illnesses can suffer more severe consequences from the flu. By getting vaccinated, you could save the life of a loved one—or someone else’s.
- Support Healthcare Systems. When more families get the flu vaccine, we help reduce the strain on healthcare systems. This ensures resources are available for those who need them, particularly during peak flu season.
Getting the flu shot before the busy fall season is one of the best ways to protect your family, serve your community, and support healthcare providers.
Sign the whole family up for a flu clinic today, or simply ask for a flu shot while at your child’s next appointment.
