annual flu vaccination

Annual flu vaccination involves receiving a flu shot each year to protect against the seasonal influenza virus. The vaccines are updated annually to match the most common circulating strains. Getting vaccinated helps your immune system recognize and fight the virus more effectively, reducing the risk of illness, complications, and spreading the flu to others. It's especially important for vulnerable groups like the elderly, young children, and those with certain health conditions. The vaccination is quick, generally safe, and can greatly contribute to community health by lowering overall flu cases during flu season.
