Prepare For The Cold And Flu Season - Get Your Flu Shot!

by Heather McLaughlin

It’s that time of the year - the cold and flu season - and now is the time to prepare for it by getting your annual flu shot.

The flu shot is highly recommended for the elderly and children, as it will help build immunity in the case that their bodies have to naturally defend against the virus/bacteria, it can. It isn’t a bad idea for healthy adults, either (unless you’re allergic to eggs, if so this is not for you!)

Flu shots are available at pharmacies that offer flu shot clinics. Some larger employers might offer employees these shots. Your primary care physician is another source for this shot.

Keep yourself and your family healthy this fall and winter and get your flu shot!
