Flu Shots
What is a Flu Shot?
A flu shot is a seasonal vaccine that protects you from influenza, a contagious respiratory illness that can cause mild to severe illness. The vaccine is updated yearly to target the most active strains.
The flu can lead to serious complications — even in healthy adults — and spreads quickly through workplaces, schools, and homes. Getting vaccinated doesn’t just protect you — it helps protect the people around you through herd immunity. When more members of a community are vaccinated, it becomes harder for the virus to spread, offering indirect protection to those who are most vulnerable, such as infants, older adults, and individuals with chronic conditions or weakened immune systems. By getting your flu shot, you’re reducing your own chances of illness while helping shield your loved ones and your community.
