05 Oct Not sure where to get your flu vaccine? We are here to help!
There’s no downplaying the flu. According to this information provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, “Anyone can get sick with flu, even healthy people, and serious problems related to flu can happen to anyone at any age, but some people are at higher risk of developing serious flu-related complications if they get sick. This includes people 65 years and older, people of any age with certain chronic medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, or heart disease), pregnant people and children younger than 5 years, but especially those younger than 2 years old.”
