The following is a list of flu facts to keep in mind. All people 6 months of age and older should get vaccinated against seasonal flu every year. Children younger than 6 months are at high risk of serious flu illness but are too young to be vaccinated. People who care for them should be vaccinated instead. Vaccination is especially important for pregnant women and people with chronic diseases. The flu vaccine protects against several different flu viruses (strains). Flu vaccines are updated every year to better match the viruses circulating in the public. Getting the flu vaccine cannot give you the flu! The vaccine is made with inactive (killed) virus strains that are not infectious.
Getting a flu vaccine will: Help keep you out of a medical setting. Lowers risk of COVID-19 exposure. Help conserve the medical resources needed for the care of COVID-19 patients.
Help protect frontline health care and other essential workers. A flu vaccine is an easy way to help “flatten the curve” of flu illness.
The OCHD is also providing a general COVID-19 Information Call Hot Line for residents and clinicians to answer questions regarding the coronavirus or flu. The number is 732-341-9700 or (800)342-9738 ext. 7411. Download a vaccine information statement at CDC.Gov/Vaccines/hcp/vis.
