The flu vaccine is your best defense against seasonal influenza and its complications. Don’t wait until it’s too late to protect your health.
About the Flu
Influenza, commonly known as the flu, is caused by seasonal influenza viruses that spread rapidly through respiratory droplets or contaminated surfaces. It affects millions in the United States every year and can lead to severe complications, particularly in high-risk groups.
Complications may include respiratory illnesses, hospitalization, and even death. Certain groups, such as older adults, pregnant individuals, and those with weakened immune systems, are at increased risk.
Why Get the Flu Vaccine?
The annual flu vaccine is your most effective defense against the flu virus. By receiving the vaccine, you can significantly lower your risk of contracting influenza and reduce the severity of the illness if you do get sick.
Benefits of Vaccination:
- Reduces the risk of flu-related hospitalization and severe complications.
- Provides critical protection for vulnerable populations, including children and seniors.
- Boosts community immunity, protecting those around you.
- Keeps you healthy throughout the flu season, helping you avoid missing work, school, or important life events.
