December 6th through the 12th is national Influenza (flu) vaccination week. This is a reminder for everyone 6 months or older that there is still time to get their flu vaccine. The exact timing and duration of flu season varies, but flu activity often begins to increase in the month of October. Most of the time flu activity will peak between December and February. The best way to reduce your risk from seasonal flu and its potentially serious complications is to get vaccinated every year.
