Flu is a contagious respiratory disease that can lead to serious complications, hospitalization, or even death. Anyone can get the flu, and getting a flu vaccine is the single best way to protect yourself and your family. Even healthy people can get very sick from the flu and spread it to friends and loved ones.

(NOTE: Anyone currently running a fever should not get vaccinated. Anyone with an egg allergy should go their doctor.)
