CITY OF ELBA: Flu Vaccine Fact

Vaccine

City of Elba issued the following announcement on Nov. 17.

MYTH: I'm healthy, so I don't need a flu shot.

FACT: False. It is true that the risk of severe flu complications is higher if you have an underlying health condition, but even strong, healthy people can get very sick, even to the point of being hospitalized. Health experts recommend that everyone 6 months of age and older get a flu shot. Just because you’ve never had the flu doesn’t mean you can’t get it.
