Stay Ahead of the Flu - Get Your Shot!

Date: 09/19/24

The flu virus can affect your nose, throat and sometimes your lungs. The best way to lower your risk of getting the flu or giving it to a friend or family member is by getting your flu shot. Here are a few reasons that you should get your flu shot this season:

  1. The flu virus changes every year. Flu shots are updated every year to make them work as well as possible.
  2. The vaccines are tested by health organizations and are safe to use.
  3. It can help prevent future health complications.
  4. It protects people with weakened immune systems that are more likely to get the flu or have worse symptoms. This includes babies, pregnant women and people 65 and older.
  5. It can be given at the same time as the COVID-19 vaccine for full protection against these viruses.

Although getting your vaccine is the best way to prevent the flu, you can also protect yourself from other viruses by following these steps.

  • Wash your hands with soap and water frequently.
  • Cover your coughs and sneezes.
  • Clean and disinfect surfaces.
  • Avoid close contact with people who are sick.

To find a vaccine location* near you, visit the CDC Vaccines website, For most people, doctors recommend getting the flu vaccine in September or October. But vaccination after October can still protect you.  Don’t wait – make an appointment for your flu vaccine today.

For more information about the flu or where to get your flu shot, visit Superior’s Flu webpage or visit the Centers for Disease Control website.

 

*Only members age 3 or older can get their flu shot at a pharmacy.
