Getting a flu shot is the most effective approach to protect yourself and your family. The flu isn’t “just a cold”—it can produce high fever, cough, and body pains, and in rare cases lead to pneumonia or catastrophic complications, especially for children, seniors, and those with asthma, COPD, or heart issues.
Flu vaccines reduce the risk of severe illness, hospitalization, and complications, particularly for children, the elderly, and people with lung or heart diseases. Stay safe and healthy.
