Flu Season Is Almost Here

Sniffling, sneezing and a high fever? Yes, flu season is almost here.

Doctors usually see cases between mid-October and February.

Pharmacist Dennis Abud recommends that everyone get their shot. He says claims that the flu shot can make you sick…are not true.

Seniors are in a high risk category, along with anyone between the ages of 5 and 65 who has a chronic condition. They are offering the flu shot for free.

Abud says it takes a couple of weeks to be fully protected from the flu after getting a shot, so the sooner you get one, the better.
