Did You or Your Kids Get a Flu Shot this Year?

 

Influenza can cause a high fever, cough, and sore throat.  Every year, about 20,000 children are hospitalized for Flu, even healthy children are at risk.  The Flu can also cause complications in people with existing medical problems such as asthma, heart disease and diabetes.

 

Since babies under the age of six months are too young to get Flu shots, they are at their greatest risk from it.  To keep them safe, parents can get flu shots for themselves and your baby's older siblings, since you're in daily contact with your infant.
 

Flu shots aren't only for kids.  According to the Department of Labor, the number of workers who miss work due to illness are at their highest from December to March, the time of year commonly known as "flu season." 

 

flu shots in Long Island

One study showed that workers who don't get a flu shot account for almost half of all sick days during that time.  It pays to be healthy, not to mention that no one enjoys being sick. 

 

Kids and teens can also avoid missing out on schoolwork, sports events, or other school activities by being prepared.  Keeping your children healthy also means less chance of missing work to stay home and care for them.
