Protect You and Your Family from the Flu

The best way to protect yourself and your children against influenza (flu) is to get a flu vaccine every flu season. Flu is a contagious respiratory disease that can lead to serious illness, hospitalization, or even death. Young children, pregnant people, people with certain chronic health conditions like asthma, diabetes, or heart and lung disease, and people 65 years and older are at higher risk of serious flu complications. CDC recommends everyone six months and older get an annual flu vaccine. The yearly flu vaccine is the first and most essential step in protecting against flu viruses. See the Figure below. Flu vaccination prevents illnesses, medical visits, hospitalizations, and deaths. Protect yourself and your children from flu and its complications. Get yourself and your children vaccinated. The Institute for Population Health (IPH) has the flu vaccine available at 9053 Woodward Ave, Detroit, Monday to Friday, 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM. Call 313-309-9350 ext. 2 to make an appointment.
