Why You Should Get the Flu Vaccine

It’s the best way to prevent yourself and loved ones from getting the flu.

Flu vaccination can help protect people who are at greater risk of getting seriously ill from flu, like older adults, people with chronic health conditions and young children (especially infants younger than 6 months old who are too young to get vaccinated).

Flu vaccination can reduce the risk of more serious flu outcomes, like hospitalizations and deaths.

Flu shot dates and locations are subject to change. Before you visit, go to kp.org/flu for the most up-to-date information.
