Flu Vaccine Available at Calaveras Public Health Department
San Andreas, CA...Recent news reports of an expected severe flu season have created an interest in receiving flu vaccine. The Calaveras County Public Health Department encourages residents who have not been vaccinated to do so soon. “Flu cases in the U.S. have occurred earlier than normal and the severity of the flu this year is greater,” reported Dr. Dean Kelaita, County Health Officer. State and county health officials anticipate increased flu activity in California in the coming weeks and urge vaccination now. “Getting vaccinated now allows time for immunity to develop from the vaccine before cases increase,” Dr. Kelaita explained....
People at high risk for complications from the flu, include:
Children aged 6 months until their 5th birthday
Pregnant women
People 50 years of age and older
People of any age with certain chronic medical conditions
People who live in nursing homes and other long term care facilities
All persons over 6 months of age are recommended to get flu vaccine to protect young infants and high risk family members.
Flu vaccine is available at the Calaveras County Public Health Department.
