Texas Influenza (Flu) Season

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the flu causes young children to go to the hospital more than any other vaccine-preventable disease. It is recommended to get a flu shot each year in order to keep yourself and other people safe. A flu vaccination is good for children 6 months and older.
