Caption: The best time to get your flu vaccine is September–October, but it’s never too late to protect yourself! ✨Some people may need it earlier, like pregnant women in their third trimester and children who need 2 doses this season.

Some children, 6 months to 8 years old, may fall into the group that needs 2 doses:

➡️ Those getting vaccinated for the first time,
➡️ Children who have only previously received one dose of flu vaccine, and
➡️ Children whose flu vaccination history is unknown.


A flu shot is your best defense this season! 💪

Pregnant women are at higher risk for serious complications from flu, including pneumonia and premature labor.

Talk with your healthcare provider about how a flu vaccine can help keep you and your little one safe this season. 💛

Caption: Older adults are at higher risk of serious illness from flu because their immune systems weaken with age. 🤒🤧

People 65 years and older account for 50 – 70% of flu-related hospitalizations and 70 – 85% of flu-related deaths. (for us - let’s add these links in this, copied from a partner.. It won’t work for socials, but will be good for people to see if needed)

This is why a higher dose of flu vaccine is recommended for those 65 years and older. 💪 Take charge of your health. Your annual flu vaccine is the best defense against flu.

Caption: It’s not “just the flu.” The flu can keep you out of work and away from fun activities with family and friends. For some people, the risk is even more serious. Everyone needs a flu shot each year, but it’s extra important for:

➡️Adults 65+
➡️Adults with Chronic Health Conditions
➡️Pregnant Women
➡️Infants and Children Younger than 5 Years Old

Are you or a loved one in one of these groups? Stay healthy and choose flu protection!

Caption: You don’t need a primary care provider to stay protected against the flu! Flu vaccines are available at clinics, health departments, and pharmacies – making it easy for you to get yours. 💪💫
