Yeah it's that time of the year. Time to get a flu shot. Flu shots are pretty much available anywhere from your doctor's office to your local pharmacy to "flu shot clinics". This years' vaccine protects against Influenza A H3N2, Influenza B and H1N1. Remember it takes up to two weeks to become fully effective so the sooner you get "shot" the better.
Everyone aged six months and older should get vaccinated especially high risk groups such as young children, pregnant women, asthmatics/COPD, diabetics and if 65 or older.
Don't forget everyday prevention including frequent hand washing and if you do get sick stay out of the office or school until your 24 hours without fever - of course without using a fever reducer.
