President Barack Obama proclaimed the week of December 5th to the 10th to be National Influenza Vaccination Week

We cannot predict from year to year the severity of the seasonal flu, but we do know that seasonal flu is most prevalent between January and March, and each year thousands are hospitalized and die from seasonal flu. Elders, babies and pregnant women are particularly at risk for complications of the flu.

Vaccination is the best protection against contracting and spreading the flu.

Community Health and Wellness will be celebrating National Influenza Vaccination Week this Friday, December 10th, by setting up a vaccination station outside of the Pharmacy.

Please join us in the celebration by asking your family and friends if they have been vaccinated, and letting them know it isn't too late to get a flu shot. If you cannot stop by the Pharmacy on Friday, please call the clinic to schedule your flu shot.

Together, we can create a healthier community.
