National Influenza Vaccination Week

It’s Not Too Late! The Valley County Health Department is offering a flu clinic on Wednesday, Dec. 7, from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. With flu activity increasing and family and friends planning gatherings for the holidays, now is a great time to get a flu vaccine, if you have not gotten vaccinated yet. A flu vaccine can protect you and your loved ones. Everyone six months of age and older should get a flu vaccine every season.

While seasonal flu activity varies, flu activity usually peaks between December and February, though activity can last as late as May. As long as flu activity is ongoing, it’s not too late to get vaccinated, even in January or later. An annual flu vaccine is the best way to protect against this potentially serious disease. Even if you have already gotten sick with the flu this season, it is still a good idea to get a flu vaccine. Flu vaccines protects against four different flu viruses. Protect yourself and your loved ones this flu season!
