I
t may seem early, but now is just
the right time to get vaccinated
against the flu. The Alliance
recommends that all persons over
the age of 6 months are vaccinated
each year. We recommend that you
are vaccinated when the vaccine
is available in your doctor’s office,
usually late summer or early fall.
Why get vaccinated against
the flu?
You can avoid a
serious illness.
The flu usually comes on quickly.
Symptoms can include high fever,
chills, headaches, exhaustion, sore
throat, cough, and all-over body
aches.
Even if the symptoms are mild,
when the flu strikes your family,
the result is lost time from work
and school.
Flu spreads quickly, even
before you start to feel sick.
People with the flu don’t have to
feel sick to spread it to others. They
can spread it when they feel well—
before their symptoms have even
begun. This can happen when they:
■
■
Cough, sneeze or just talk near
others
■
■
Touch or sneeze on an object that
someone else touches later
There are many different kinds of
flu vaccines available. Talk to your
doctor about the type of flu vaccine
that is best for you. It is time to get
you and your family protected!
