HPV Vaccine Q& A
Top 3 reasons to get your flu
vaccine
1. Prevents influenza-related death.
Each year over 36,000 people in the
U.S. die because of the flu—most are 65 or older. More people
die from flu than from any other vaccine-preventable disease.
2. Prevents severe illness.
In the U.S. influenza puts about
200,000 people in the hospital each year. Children younger than
2 years old are as likely to be hospitalized as adults who are
65 or older.
3. Protects other people.
You should get vaccinated if you live
with or care for others who are at high risk of complications
from the flu. Getting a flu vaccination yourself can help
protect your family members, including seniors and young
children.
For more information, ask your
healthcare provider or call 800-CDC-INFO (800-232-4636)
