Flu season is here. Getting a flu shot is one of the best ways to stay healthy. The flu shot helps your body fight off the virus. It can keep you from getting sick or needing to go to the hospital.

Everyone 6 months and older should get one every year. This is especially important for people with health problems like heart disease, asthma or diabetes. These conditions can make the flu much worse.

Last year, the flu hit children hard. You can help protect your kids by getting them vaccinated now. 

The flu vaccine is free when you go to an in-network provider. This includes your provider, a pharmacy or a clinic.
