Stay Healthy this Flu Season, Get Vaccinated

There are several reasons why it is important to get a flu shot:

​

1. To protect your own health: The flu can be a serious and potentially life-threatening illness, especially for people with certain underlying health conditions. Getting a flu shot can help to protect you from getting sick and can also reduce the severity of your symptoms if you do get the flu.

2. To protect the health of others: The flu is highly contagious, and getting a flu shot can help to prevent the spread of the virus to others. This is especially important for people who are at high risk of serious complications from the flu, such as young children, older adults, and people with certain underlying health conditions.

3. To reduce the burden on the healthcare system: During the flu season, hospitals and other healthcare facilities can become overwhelmed with patients seeking treatment for the flu. Getting a flu shot can help to reduce the number of people who get sick, which can ease the burden on the healthcare system.
