Flu Information
 

Flu season usually starts in November and lasts through early March. The best way to protect against the flu is to get a flu shot each year. Everyone 6 months and older should get a flu shot. You should be first in line for the flu shot if you:

  • are pregnant,
  • are a child between the ages of 6 months and 5 years old,
  • are a caregiver of a child less than 6 months old,
  • are an adult over 50 years old,
  • live in a nursing home,
  • have a chronic medical condition or
  • have conditions that can cause breathing problems.

Call your doctor to make an appointment today. The flu shot is free for members at most family doctor offices.
