Getting Your Flu Shot? By: Michelle Shawnego/HR Generalist
In our efforts in promoting a healthy and productive work place we would like to remind everyone Flu Shots are available as we enter flu season.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), recommends that everyone 6 months and older get a flu vaccine each year.
A flu vaccine is needed every year because flu viruses are constantly changing. It’s not unusual for new flu viruses to appear each year. The flu vaccine is formulated each year to keep up with the flu viruses as they change.
Getting vaccinated each year provides the best protection against influenza throughout flu season.
Kaiser members get FREE flu shots!
