Flu shots are just about here. And the CDC is encouraging those at high risk to get their flu shot this year. These include adults age 50 and over, children aged 6 to 59 months, pregnant women, persons with chronic medical conditions and individuals who live or work with such persons. These higher risk individuals total about 200 million of the population, but only about 85 million Americans actually get flu shots each year. Stay tuned to hear the date for this year’s drive-by flu shot clinic at St. John’s.
