Flu Shot
The flu shot or flu vaccine is a form of immunization that helps protect people from influenza virus infection. It is recommended for people of all ages and is especially important for those at high risk for severe complications from influenza, such as older adults, pregnant women, young children, and people with chronic medical conditions. The flu shot works by introducing a weakened or inactivated form of the virus into the body, which then triggers an immune response that protects against future infection. Receiving the flu shot can reduce the chance of getting the flu, decrease the severity of symptoms if you do get the flu, and help protect those around you who may be more vulnerable to serious complications.
