According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), seasonal influenza activity is increasing in the United States. The influenza (or “flu”) vaccination can keep you from getting sick with the flu and can reduce the risk of being hospitalized because of it. The CDC recommends everyone 6 months and older get a flu vaccine each season.
