This year the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) is recommending that everyone over 6 months old get the influenza vaccine. The “flu shot” is for anyone who wants to reduce the likelihood of getting the flu, but especially pregnant women, people age 50 and older, healthcare workers, or those in contact with adults/children at high risk for flu complications. For more information on flu shot safety, efficacy, or necessity, please contact your doctor. For general information about the influenza visit http://www.dphhs.mt.gov/influenza/index.shtml.
