Flu season is upon us! Help #fighttheflu
Wear a mask
Wash your hands
Get a yearly flu vaccine
Flu Vaccine Facts:
- A flu vaccine helps your body build up antibodies against 2-4 recent flu strains.
- It takes about two weeks for these antibodies to help provide protection against the flu virus. If your exposed to the flu before that two-week window you may get sick.
- The flu vaccine has been shown in some studies to reduce the severity of illness and hospitalization.
- After getting the vaccine you may experience: Soreness/redness at the injection site, headache, fever, muscle aches, nausea and fatigue. These symptoms are a response created by your immune system to the vaccine, not flu symptoms.
Where to get a flu vaccine:
• Schedule an appointment with your healthcare provider.
• Call 211 for health and social services information.
