Get Vaccinated This Season to Stay Healthy

Why Get a Flu Shot?

The flu is a respiratory illness that can cause fever, aches, and fatigue. It can be serious, especially for young children, the elderly, and those with chronic health conditions. Getting a flu shot is the best way to protect yourself and your loved ones from the flu.

More Information on Approved Flu Vaccines

There are several different flu vaccines available, each with its own age indications. For more information on approved flu vaccines for the current flu season, please visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website.

Two Types of Influenza Vaccine

There are two main types of influenza vaccine: inactivated influenza vaccines (IIV) and live attenuated influenza vaccines (LAIV). IIVs are made with inactivated flu viruses, while LAIVs are made with live, weakened flu viruses. Both types of vaccine are effective in preventing the flu.
