Vaccination & Vaccine Safety

"
Everyone 6 months of age and older should get the flu vaccine. Seasonal flu vaccines have a very good safety track record.
  • The flu vaccine is available by shot or nasal spray.
  • Get your flu shot or spray as soon as the vaccine is available in your area.

  • If you experience a severe reaction such as difficulty breathing, hives, or facial swelling, seek medical attention immediately..."
