Adult Flu Vaccine – PPC

Don’t let the flu catch you! 

Flu activity can start as early as September and can last through May. The nasal spray flu vaccine is recommended for children and adults ages 2 years through 49 years of age.

• The CDC recommends everyone 6 months and older get a yearly flu vaccine.
• Getting vaccinated can help keep you from getting sick. Plus, being vaccinated can help protect those around you from getting sick.
• Even in years when the vaccine is less effective, it still helps prevent some cases of the flu and also helps to prevent serious illness and outbreaks of the flu.
• The flu vaccine is especially important for adults aged 50 and older.
• If you are pregnant, it is very important to get the flu vaccine. In pregnant women, flu symptoms can get worse quickly and be dangerous. The flu can even cause trouble breathing or lead to death of the woman or her baby.
• Caregivers of children at high risk of flu complications should get a flu vaccine. (Babies younger than 6 months are at high risk for serious flu complications, but too young to get a flu vaccine.)
• The best time of year to get the flu vaccine is before the fall season. But the flu shot can be given anytime during the “Flu Season.”
