Who Should Get the Flu Shot?
Everyone 6 months of age and older should get the flu vaccine.
Vaccination is especially important for people at higher risk of severe influenza and their close contacts, including healthcare personnel and close contacts of children younger than 6 months.
“Everyone 6 months and older should get a flu vaccine as soon as vaccine is available this fall. The single best way to prevent the flu is to get vaccinated each year but good health habits can also help protect against the flu,” stated Katherine Antonitis, Acting Director-Health Officer of the Middlesex County Office of Public Health.
You can help reduce the spread of flu to yourself and others if you:
- Stay home when you are sick.
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
- Clean your hands often. (Keep alcohol-based hand cleaners in your purse, car, and back pack, when soap and water are not available.)
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth as much as possible.
- Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze, and then throw away the used tissue.
- Get regular exercise, plenty of rest, and eat healthy, balanced meals.
A Flu Shot is Your Best Protection
