Weekly Summary from the North Shore Health Department

December 5^th – 9^th is NIVW 2022

Everyone 6 months and older is recommended to get a flu shot every year. Even though it is almost December, you can still get your shot—It’s not too late!

Vaccination is particularly important for people who are at higher risk of developing serious flu complications, including young children.

Every year, millions of children get sick with flu and thousands are hospitalized as a result. ​Flu vaccines are the only vaccines that protect against flu and are proven to reduce the risk illness, hospitalization, and death.

Currently, flu activity is elevated across the country, so this week will serve to remind people that there is still time to benefit from the first and most important action in preventing flu illness and potentially serious flu complications. Get a flu shot today!

Please visit vaccines.gov to find available vaccines near you.
