Flu Shot

Flu Shot

November 7, 2018

 

Are you worried about getting the flu?

Influenza vaccines, also known as flu shots, protect you against the flu infection.

A new vaccine version is made twice a year as the flu virus keeps on changing.

Here are the reasons why it’s important to take a flu shot.

The flu could be more serious than you thought.

A study by CDC shows more than 200,000 people are hospitalized every year from flu infections. It can be deadly.

It is the most effective method of fighting the flu.

The CDC estimates that a flu vaccine reduces the risk of developing a serious flu-related illness by 61%. The effectiveness of flu shots depends on various factors such as whether the flu vaccine matched the current flu strain.

Last year’s shot doesn’t provide adequate cover now.

Over a period of time, your immune system response to the vaccine declines. So, an annual flu shot is vital for continuous protection. Also, the flu virus is constantly changing. With different strains every now and then, the vaccine has to be reviewed.

You need a flu shot that incorporates various factors.

Before flu shot factors such as age and medical conditions are considered. As such, you should take one annually. This ensures all factors as at that moment are considered for a favorable shot.

It’s covered by most health plans.

The Affordable Care Act requires health plans to provide preventive care. This care includes an influenza vaccination. Confirm with your plan provider.

A flu shot is the best method of avoiding catching flu. At Dupage Immediate Care, we give effective flu shots. Our flu shots are reviewed regularly in line with the circulating flu strain. Visit our Contact Us page for contact details and more information.
