- people 65 years and older
- pregnant women
- children younger than 5 years

Is it Safe to be Immunized for Flu?
Yes. Flu immunization has been shown to reduce the risk of flu illness, having to go to the doctor, hospitalization and death.
- Flu vaccines are very safe and effective.
- The flu immunization can’t give you the flu. Most people who get the flu vaccine have no side effects but it’s normal to have a sore arm, a low-grade fever, or body aches that last a day or two.
