In recent news, statewide surveillance shows that flu is now widespread in North Carolina. This season, the southeastern U.S. has had most of the flu activity nationwide. Flu season usually peaks in January or February. It takes about two weeks for a flu shot to kick in, so getting one now will still provide you with protection.

 

Without a flu shot, you’re putting yourself at risk as well as those around you who may be even more susceptible to illness, like young children or the elderly. Help protect yourself and those you love from the flu this season.
