🩺 Protect Our Kids — It’s Flu Shot Season! 🤧💉

Every year, influenza (the flu) affects millions of families — and while most kids recover, some become seriously ill. Tragically, recent flu seasons have seen more pediatric deaths than usual, reminding us how unpredictable influenza can be for children. 

The Flu is HERE! Our office has been seeing postive cases daily and the numbers continue to grow!

Here’s what the latest U.S. data shows:
📌 During the 2024–25 flu season, the number of influenza-associated deaths in children reached its highest level in a non-pandemic period* since reporting began — with about 280 children reported to have died from the flu. 
📌 Most of these children were not fully vaccinated, even though flu vaccines are designed to reduce severe illness and death. 
📌 Children under age 5 and those with medical conditions are at higher risk of serious complications. 

💉 Why the flu shot matters
Flu vaccines are recommended each year for everyone 6 months and older (unless your child’s clinician tells you otherwise). They help:
✔ Reduce the chance your child will get the flu
✔ Lower the risk of severe illness, hospital stays, and complications
✔ Protect family and community members who are especially vulnerable

✨ Bringing your child in for a flu shot now is one of the most effective ways to protect them — and it’s a simple step with big benefits!

❤️ We’re here to help keep your family healthy. Call or stop in today to get your child’s flu vaccine!
