2016-17 flu information

The flu is serious. Don’t pass it on!

The flu is much worse than a cold. Getting vaccinated is the best way to protect you and your family from getting sick. Kaiser Permanente and the Centers for Disease Control recommend a yearly flu shot for everyone 6 months of age and older.

Flu shots are available at no cost to our members at Kaiser Permanente medical facilities.

The flu is a serious, contagious illness that causes moderate to severe symptoms. Some people get sick enough to need hospitalization. Anyone can get the flu, but getting a flu shot every year is the best way to prevent it.
