Flu is more than a bad cold. Flu can lead to severe illness, hospitalization or even death. Flu viruses change over time, so it is important to get an annual flu vaccine that offers the best protection from severe illness.

Is it Safe to be Vaccinated for Flu?
Yes. Flu vaccination has been shown to reduce the risk of flu illness, having to go to the doctor, hospitalization and death.
