Fight Flu this Season!

CDC recommends a yearly flu vaccine as the first and most important step in protecting against flu and its potentially serious complications. It takes about two weeks for your body to make antibodies that help protect you from flu infection. Schedule to get your flu vaccine by the end of October to give yourself the best protection against flu this season.

Flu vaccination is recommended each year because your immune protection from vaccination declines over time and because new vaccine is made each year. Annual flu vaccination will help protect you from #flu and its possible serious complications. #FightFlu https://go.usa.gov/xVsex
