Dear Patients,
As flu season ramps up this year, it's important to take proactive steps to protect yourself and those around you from
influenza. Here are some key facts to consider:
- Influenza (flu) activity is increasing this season and is expected to continue in the coming weeks.
- 40% of flu cases have occurred in children aged 6 months to 14 years.
- The flu is more likely to cause severe illness and complications in certain groups, including children under 5 years, the elderly, pregnant women, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
- Vaccination is key to protecting yourself, your friends, family, and communities from the flu.
- It
is never too late to get vaccinated. The yearly flu vaccine is recommended for everyone aged 6 months and over and is free for high-risk groups.
Take charge of your health and schedule your flu shot today at Main Street. Together, we can build a healthier community.
