WHY:
Federal, state and local health experts recommend that everyone 6 months of age and older get the flu vaccine every year, as the flu is a contagious respiratory disease that can lead to serious illness, hospitalization, or even death. Flu vaccines have been given to millions of Americans for more than 50 years, and research shows that people who get the flu vaccine are less likely to get the flu, be hospitalized or even die from the flu. Flu vaccination also reduces the need to go to a doctor’s office, urgent care, or hospital, freeing up healthcare resources to care for COVID-19 patients.
COVID-19 information: Masks must be worn at all times. All surfaces will be sanitized, and social distancing will be practiced to ensure the safety of all clinic attendees.
