Flu Clinic
Our practice prides itself in providing you and your family members with the influenza vaccine. Influenza is a contagious disease that spreads itself amongst people throughout the United States. It is commonly spread by coughing, sneezing and close contact to individuals of all ages. Statistics have shown, though, that the risk of getting the flu is the highest in children. Symptoms of the flu include:
- Fever/chills
- Sore throat
- Fatigue
- Coughing
- Headaches
- Stuffy and runny nose
Getting a flu vaccine in the form of an injection will not contain any live influenza virus, but is instead an “inactivated or recombinant” vaccine. A live attenuated influenza vaccine is actually given as a spray into the nose. It is recommended to get a flu vaccine every year, with the flu season generally occurring between October and May.
You should not get an influenza vaccine if:
- You have any severe, life-threatening allergies
- You have ever had Guillain-Barre Syndrome
