Why Do I Need A Flu Shot?

The formula used to create flu vaccinations changes frequently in order to protect from the latest strain of the influenza virus. This has to be done in order to effectively help prevent infection from the virus, due to the fact that the virus is resilient and forever evolving in order to thrive. It is recommended that everyone over the age of 6 months is vaccinated for the flu, with very rare exceptions to this rule. If you are living with a chronic illness or have an allergy to eggs, speak with your physician before getting the flu shot. The flu shot can especially help protect those who are the most vulnerable from suffering complications from the illness. This vulnerable group includes young children, senior citizens, and those living with a compromised immune system. If you fall under any of these categories, protect yourself with a flu vaccine. At Healthy Living Primary Care in Conroe, our team of medical professionals is offering quick and simple flu vaccines for new and established patients. 

 

So, Why Do I Need A Flu Shot?

This year more than ever, the CDC and other medical professionals are pushing for everyone who is eligible for flu shots to get one. This is because the respiratory disease, COVID-19 is still spreading through our communities. While most patients are able to recover from the flu and COVID-19 without medical interference, it may be possible to contract both viruses at the same time. Two respiratory illnesses at the same time, or closely following one another will make it more difficult for your body to recover and may increase your chances of experiencing serious complications from the illnesses. Lowering your chances of catching the flu this year with the influenza vaccination can help reduce your risk of catching both respiratory illnesses this cold and flu season.
