Flu Fact: There is a high dose flu vaccine for people age 65 and older. According to the CDC, about 90 percent of flu-related deaths and between 50 percent and 70 percent of flu hospitalizations occur in people in this age group. We’d like to remind everyone, especially older adults, about the importance of getting your flu shot this year! Our clinics will offer flu vaccine later this month and many pharmacies and health care clinics are probably offering it already! For more information: http://j.mp/2CkHJGN ... See MoreSee Less
