Receiving the flu shot is one of the easiest and most effective ways to prevent getting the flu this season.
Vaccination of high risk persons, including young children, pregnant women, people with chronic health conditions like asthma, diabetes or heart and lung disease, and seniors 65 years and older, are especially important and can decrease their risk of severe flu illness that could lead to hospitalization – and even death.
