The Significance of the Flu Shot

Why Get the Flu Shot?

The flu shot is a powerful tool in preventing influenza, a potentially severe respiratory illness.
It protects not only the individual receiving the vaccine but also those aroundthem, especially vulnerable populations like children and the elderly.
Getting vaccinated helps reduce the burden on healthcare systems by lowering the number of flu cases.

Who Should Get Vaccinated?

The flu shot is recommended for everyone aged six months and older, with very few exceptions.
It is particularly crucial for individuals with chronic medical conditions, pregnant women, and healthcare workers.
