About the flu:
- October to May is flu season. Get vaccinated in time!
- Flu is a highly contagious viral infection of the nose, throat and lungs. It is one of the most severe illnesses of the winter season. Typical flu symptoms include abrupt high fever, chills, a dry cough, headache, runny nose, sore throat, and muscle and joint pain.
- Flu can be severe, lasting 1-2 weeks with residual effects up to one month.
- Flu is spread easily from person to person through the air e.g. coughs or sneezes.
- Yearly immunization is the single, most effective means of preventing flu.
Protect yourself by booking one of our Influenza Immunization Clinics:
- Flu vaccine is 70-90% effective in preventing flu. Vaccine is given in the fall/winter (October through March) - for protection during the "flu season."
- Most people have little or no reaction to the vaccine.
- Flu, if contracted, is usually less severe if vaccination has been done.
- The National Advisory Committee on Immunization recommends annual flu immunization.
- Because the flu virus changes from year to year, it is important to get vaccinated with a new flu shot every year.
About the flu vaccine:
- Flu vaccine CANNOT cause the flu.
- Flu vaccine DOES work.
- Side effects are MINIMAL, or none.
- Benefits are HIGH - better health, less illness, avoid disruption to vacation and leisure activities, less missed work and reduced risk of spreading flu to family members and friends.
