Importance of Getting Vaccinated

Viruses like flu covid spread more quickly during winter months, and even though they are often mild for most people, they can cause serious illness.

Protection from previous vaccines decreases over time, and the viruses that cause illness also change, so getting now doses of protection when offered is the best way to stay healthy.
