Why Should You Get the Flu Vaccine?
Flu season is no joke. Influenza is highly contagious and can lead to severe complications, especially for vulnerable groups like the elderly, children, and those with pre-existing health conditions. Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent the flu and reduce its spread within our community.
By getting vaccinated, you:
- Protect yourself from getting sick
- Protect your loved ones—especially the elderly, pregnant women, and infants who may be more vulnerable
- Help reduce the strain on the healthcare system
If you’re still on the fence, take a moment to check out this helpful guide on flu immunization from the BC Government. It offers valuable insight into why getting vaccinated is crucial to public health and who should consider getting the shot.
