Flu shots: it’s not too late.

Protect yourself this flu season

If you haven’t already gotten a flu shot (influenza vaccine), now’s the time.

Why get the shot annually?

Flu shots are recommended annually because immunity to the previous year’s vaccine fades over time, and the newest vaccine is made to cover the most common strains that researchers expect to see during the current season.

Other ways to protect yourself

In addition to getting vaccinated, protect yourself by covering sneezes and coughs, washing hands frequently and thoroughly, avoiding sick people, and disinfecting surfaces.

Act now

Getting a flu shot is an easy way to protect yourself, your family, and your community from the flu. Act now!
