Keep Them Healthy!

Influenza can be a serious disease for children of all ages, causing them to miss school, activities, and even be hospitalized. Rates of flu infection are highest among children. The CDC (Center for Disease Control) now recommends flu vaccination for all children ages 6 months through 18 years. Getting your kids vaccinated will not only protect them but will help prevent them from spreading the flu to infants, siblings, grandparents, and other family members.

Please consider vaccinating your children against the flu!
