Flu (Seasoned Influenza)

Flu Shots only $20, available every day. No appointments necessary.

Who should get the flu vaccine?

Starting with the 2010-11 influenza season, the CDC now recommends annual influenza vaccinations for everyone age 6 months or older. Vaccination is especially important for people at high risk of influenza complications, including:

  • Pregnant Women
  • Older Adults
  • Young Children
  • Those who have had a bad reaction to
    the vaccine in the past
  • Those allergic to chicken eggs
  • Those who ave a fever that day

Vaccine Effectivity

Flu vaccines aren’t 100 percent effective. According to the CDC, when the match between flu vaccine and circulating strains of flu virus is close, a flu shot is between 70 and 90 percent effective in warding off influenza in healthy people under age 65.

The standard flu shot is less effective for older adults because they produce fewer antibodies in response to the virus. A new higher-dose vaccine has been approved for use in people age 65 and older. If you’re interested in receiving the higher-dose vaccine, ask your doctor if it’s available in your area.

Prevention

With or without a flu shot, you can take steps to help protect yourself from the flu and other viruses. Good hygiene remains your primary defense against contagious illnesses.

  • Wash your hands often and thoroughly with soap and water. Use an alcohol-based sanitizer on your hands.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth whenever possible.
  • Avoid crowds when the flu is most prevalent in your area.
