An Ounce of Prevention…
The old adage certainly rings true when it comes to getting a flu shot. Both the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization recommend 
the annual influenza vaccine as the first line of defense in preventing the flu. The CDC recommends every person over the age of 6 months get vaccinated yearly with rare exceptions.
If you have questions about the flu vaccine or whether or not it is right for you, please consult your physician or other health-care provider.
The flu vaccine is available at many locations including your doctor’s office, some pharmacies and grocery stores as well as senior citizens centers and county health departments. The CDC has developed a database the HealthMap Vaccine Finder to help find a location in your area.
Rehab Home Health encourages everyone to get an annual flu shot in order to stay happy and healthy throughout the flu season.
