Flu

  • The primary purpose of the annual flu shot is to reduce the risk of getting the flu and to minimize the severity of symptoms if you do contract the virus.
  • Widespread vaccination can help protect vulnerable populations, such as infants, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems, by reducing the overall spread of the virus.
  • It's best to get vaccinated before flu season starts, ideally by the end of October, but getting vaccinated later can still be beneficial.
