Why You and Your Family Must Get the Flu Vaccines

Posted on January 11, 2022 by Louise Savoie

why-you-and-your-family-must-get-the-flu-vaccinesIn the cold months of winter, the influenza virus causes community transmission epidemic across the country. It is especially more difficult and bothersome this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic that is still happening in the world.

The flu virus is highly contagious and severe cases will require hospitalizations and even deaths. But this is easily preventable through immunizations being offered in any specialty pharmacy in Northridge, California.

As with any medication, vaccines can have side effects, but only mild and are easily manageable. This includes soreness or redness around the injection site and/or low-grade fever and will not need serious medication therapy management.

Some people, like the elderly or those with severe reactions to the vaccines, can be exempted from getting their yearly flu shot. However, it is highly advisable to get your flu shots every year to protect yourself, your family, and your community from getting too sick. Some healthcare facilities now even offer drive-thru flu shots for your convenience.

As it is still possible to get sick with the flu even when vaccinated, symptoms tend to be milder and more manageable. Immunizations against the flu lowers the risk of complications as well as hospitalizations for certain people.

Many medical providers agree that the benefits of getting the vaccine outweigh all and immediate risks of their minimal side effects. A slight inconvenience associated with it is nothing compared to the protection it gives.

Visit Poly-Med Pharmacy is a pharmacy in California that can tend to your needs thoroughly.
