The Samuel Dixon Family Health Centers want to remind you that flu season is here. Even though it isn’t a season we look forward to, it is one that we need to be prepared for. The East Coast has been hit hard this season and they report the same is likely for the West Coast.
The Centers for Disease Control recommends that everyone over 6 months of age should get a flu vaccination this season. They emphasize the importance of the vaccine for those who are 65 years of age and older, pregnant women, those with serious medical conditions such as asthma, diabetes, and chronic lung disease, and also people who live with or care for others who are at high risk for developing serious complications.
Have you gotten your flu shot yet?
If your answer is “no,” remember that you can get your flu shot at any of our three health care centers, Newhall, Canyon Country, and Val Verde. Cost of the flu shot is $10. Remember, flu shots take two weeks of being in your system to build up the antibodies necessary to fight the flu.
Don’t delay. Contact one of our three facilities today. Canyon Country Health Center can be reached at (661)-424-1220, Newhall Health Center (661)-291-1777, and Val Verde (661)-257-4008.
