Stay Healthy Get a Flu Shot

It is not too late to get a flu shot.  The flu season normally peaks in February. So get your flu shot today. 

Nationally, the flu causes 200,000 hospitalizations and 36,000 deaths a year, mostly in children and elderly.  Contracting the flu virus may lead to serious complications such as bacterial pneumonia, dehydration, and worsening of chronic medical conditions, such as congestive heart failure, asthma, or diabetes. People coming down with the flu can be out sick for at least one week. 

The Pasadena Public Health Department recommends flu vaccination for:

·        adults 50 years old and older,

·        children 6-59 months,

·        individuals 6 months and older with chronic medical conditions,

·        women who will be pregnant during the influenza season,

·       household contacts and out-of-home caregivers of children under 6 months,

·        healthcare workers, and

·        people with weakened immune systems.

Healthy individuals wishing to get a flu shot should visit their doctor or the Pasadena Public Health Department’s Travel and Adult Immunization Clinic. “Annual immunization is the best way to protect yourself and your family from the flu because the vaccine only lasts for one season,” said Dr. Takashi Wada, Pasadena Public Health Department Health Officer.
