Prevent the Flu!!
Flu season is here! It is not too late! Patients give many reasons for not getting their annual flu shot, including — “It causes the flu"; "I don’t need it"; "It has side effects"; "It’s not effective"; "I didn’t think about it"; "I don’t like needles!” The fact is that every year in the United States about 36,000 people die from influenza. Greater than 90 percent of these deaths occur in individuals 65 years of age and older. You can help yourself overcome these odds and their personal barriers through education. Protect yourself, your family and friends. Get Your Flu Shot – Not the Flu.
