Why should students get a flu immunization?
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommends that all persons six months of age and older should be vaccinated annually against influenza. Persons who are infected with the influenza virus, including those who do not yet have symptoms, can transmit the virus to coworkers and patients, including those at higher risk for complications from influenza. Vaccination of adults has been associated with reduced risk of influenza illness, and reduced antibiotic use and medical visits. In addition, vaccination has been found to reduce deaths among elderly hospitalized patients.
Thank you!
