The 2014-2015 flu season is quickly approaching. Getting a flu shot is the best way to protect you and others from getting or spreading the flu.  We encourage all of our patients to consider getting a flu shot, especially those that are at high risk for getting the flu.  People who are high risk are:

• People with medical conditions, like asthma and diabetes
• Pregnant women
• Children aged 6 months to 5 years
• People older than  65 years of age
• People who live with or care for others considered to be high-risk
