The end of the year is filled with preparations for winter weather, events, and holiday celebrations – make sure you don’t let influenza slow you down! Getting a flu shot is an easy way to help you and your loved ones stay healthy all winter long.
Vaccination reduces the risk of hospitalization for everyone, but especially for people at risk of serious complications including people with diabetes, CPOD, or heart disease as well as people over the age of 65, and pregnant women.
It’s not too late to protect yourself, flu season lasts all winter long winding down in the spring. Your flu shot will protect you for about six months, but it can take up to two weeks for antibodies to develop and provide protection, so don’t delay!
Northern Light Health offers influenza vaccination at seasonal walk-in flu events, and by appointment at all Northern Light Primary Care and Northern Light Pharmacy locations. If you’ve been waiting to get your flu shot, reach out to your primary care provider, or schedule yours online at a convenient pharmacy location today!
