Influenza and Pneumonia Vaccines
Influenza, or the flu, is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses. It can cause mild to severe illness with symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat, muscle aches, and vomiting, and at times can lead to death. Some people, such as older people, young children, and those with certain health conditions, are at high risk for serious complications resulting from the flu. The best way to prevent the flu is by getting vaccinated each year. Vaccination begins each fall and continues through spring. This time period matches the time of the year when influenza becomes most widespread in the U.S.
Pneumonia is an inflammation of the lungs caused by an infection. Bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites can all cause pneumonia. Pneumonia is of particular concern for those over 65 or with a chronic illness or weakened immune system. However, it can also occur in young, healthy people. Pneumonia can range in seriousness from mild to life-threatening. The best defense against pneumonia is simply to be vaccinated.
If interested in receiving an influenza or pneumonia vaccine, contact your primary care physician or local pharmacy.
