It is more important than ever to protect yourself from influenza (flu). It is recommended that everyone over the age of six months get the flu vaccine (flu shot).
Where can I get a flu shot?
Children between the ages of 6 months and two years should be taken to their family health care provider for a flu vaccine. Children over the age of 2 have the option of getting a flu vaccine from a family health care provider OR a participating pharmacy. If you do not have a family health care provider or a convenient participating pharmacy, children under the age of 5 can get a flu vaccine from Southwestern Public Health – and their family members can too!
