Description:CDC recommends everyone 6 months and older get an influenza (flu) vaccine every year.
As a health care professional (HCP), your strong recommendation is a critical factor in whether your patients get a flu vaccine. Children younger than 5 years of age –especially those younger than 2 years – are at high risk of developing serious flu-related complications. A flu vaccine offers the best defense against getting flu and its potentially serious complications and potentially spreading it to others. Getting vaccinated can reduce flu illnesses, doctor’s visits, missed work and school days, and prevent flu-related hospitalizations and deaths in children.
