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.
