I have always been a skeptic when it comes to flu shots, but we are currently in unknown territory when it comes to our health. Therefore, to further protect yourself and your loved ones during this holiday season it is very important to receive your flu shot!

Flu season runs from October through March and Christiana Care is offering patients flu shots at their primary care locations - all of which accept new patients and practice the safest care and social distancing. It is crucial that everyone who is old enough (ages 6 months and older) to get a flu shot and join ChristianaCare’s “NoFluCrew”. In one year, the flu shot makes a big impact:

  • 4.4 MILLION – fewer Flu illnesses

  • 2.3 MILLION – fewer Flu-related medical visits

  • 40% FEWER – fewer Flu-related hospitalizations

Continue to protect yourself and others by wearing your mask, washing and sanitizing your hands and keeping a safe distance. It’s always better to prevent sickness than to foster it. And if you are still uncertain about your health and safety when it comes to the flu shot, be sure you consult with your primary care physician. Stay safe!
