Three Great Reasons to Get Annual Flu Vaccine:
1. Flu is the 8th leading cause of death in the U.S.
People die every year and are hospitalized due to flu related illness. Children under five years of age, pregnant women, people with chronic conditions and older adults are at highest risk.
2. Getting vaccinated may mean less visits to the doctor.
With a good match, flu vaccine may reduce the risk of having to go to the doctor for flu by about 60% among the overall population.
3. By getting vaccinated, you are also doing a service to your community.
You are helping to stop the spread of flu to the most vulnerable, including infants under six months of age too young to be immunized and older adults without an effective immune system.
