It's Flu and RSV Season

We are offering influenza and RSV shot clinics every Saturday in October.
Children younger than 5 years old–especially those younger than 2–are at higher risk of developing serious flu-related complications.

While not at higher risk, children 5 years and older can spread flu to their higher risk family members, like infants younger than 6 months old and adults who are 65 years and older or people of any age who have certain chronic health conditions. It’s important to vaccinate everyone 6 months and older in your family against flu each year to help protect those most at risk. A flu vaccine offers the best defense against flu and its potentially serious complications and also can reduce the spread of flu to others. 

There is also an RSV immunization available for children under 8 months old. Infants in this age group are at the highest risk for severe respiratory illness caused by this common virus. The RSV immunization helps to protect vulnerable infants by significantly reducing the likeliuhood of hospitalization and serious compications, including pneumonia and bronchiolitis.
