Flu Vaccine

Getting a flu vaccine is important to protect yourself, your family, and your community from flu.  Everybody aged 6 months and older can get the flu vaccine. While people may think about flu in the colder months, it can also spread in the summer. Don't let the flu stop you. Vaccination is particularly important for people who are at high risk of serious complications from the flu. Get your flu vaccine today.
