Flu Information

Every year millions of Americans get the flu. More than 200,000 people in the US will be hospitalized from influenza and an average of 36,000 die from the disease each year. The best way to prevent the “flu” is vaccination. The “flu” vaccine is designed to reduce the spread of the newest strain of influenza.

 

According to the CDC, people should get vaccinated against influenza as soon as vaccines become available. For more information on the flu and flu shots, visit the pages below or
