UR Thompson- Urgent Care Newark

Each year, influenza virus infections result in approximately 5 million hospitalizations and 650,000 deaths worldwide. Virus circulation tends to occur during April through September in the Southern Hemisphere and October through May in the Northern Hemisphere, so experts here are often able to get a preview of what’s to come. According to the CDC, data from the Southern Hemisphere indicate we could be in for a tough flu season. However, there’s good news: In the Southern Hemisphere this year, vaccines were effective in reducing influenza-associated outpatient visits and hospitalizations by approximately one half. The CDC recommends that all eligible persons aged 6 months and older receive the seasonal influenza vaccine. Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting your shot at one of our community clinics! We have three more coming up soon, in Farmington, Bloomfield, and Victor. They’re for ages 9 and up, with a high-dose option for those 65+.
