When winter draws near, many wonder whether they should get the flu shot. For many, the flu is a mild illness, causing fever, cough, chills, sore throat and body aches. But some – especially the elderly, young children and many with chronic disease – are at risk of serious complications. While not perfect, the seasonal influenza vaccine is the best way to protect against the influenza viruses. Come on in and be sure to bring your insurance card.
