Flu Shots at MyCare Express Clinic
Should I get the annual flu vaccine?
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention urges those who are six months and older to get the flu vaccine. Why? Getting the flu shot is the best way to take preventative measures in making sure you do not come down with this common virus and to help prevent spreading the flu to others. If you opt out of receiving your free flu shot, you are susceptible to the flu for two-thirds of the year.
