"The fall is the perfect time to get your flu shot," a release said. "The vaccine offers protection throughout the entire flu season, and is the best way to protect yourself and your community from the flu."
Everyone who can get a flu vaccination should do so annually to reduce the risk of becoming ill with influenza or transmitting it to others, added the release.
Certain groups are at higher risk of becoming ill and are strongly recommended to receive the vaccine:
- All children ages six months and older, unless advised otherwise by a physician
- Pregnant women and anyone who becomes pregnant during the flu season
- People 50 years and older
- Adults and children with certain chronic conditions
To prevent transmission to high-risk populations, vaccination is also recommended for:
- Health care workers
- Caregivers of children less than six months of age and adults over age 65
- Adults and children who live with children less than six months of age
- Adults and children who live with or care for persons with medical conditions that put them at higher risk for severe complications from influenza
