Be Ready for the Flu This Year

Did You Know?

Think the flu is bothersome, but harmless? Think again. Up to 200,000 people are hospitalized each year from the flu, and about 36,000 people die from flu-related problems annually. And although children, pregnant women, and the elderly are at especially high risk for the flu, even healthy children and adults can get very sick and spread the flu to family and friends.

Your First Line of Defense

icon53-shotVaccination is the single best way to protect against influenza. As flu viruses are notoriously highly contagious, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends the flu vaccine as the first and most important step in preventing the spread of the flu each year.

NextCare offers convenient flu shots at every clinic nationwide.  Use the link below to download a flu shot coupon and save big on this year’s influenza vaccination.
