flu vaccinations
CDC has recommended STOPPING flu vaccinations for this flu year. There is very little flu activity in the U.S. currently. Normally, we stop at the end of June so we are stopping about 6 weeks early. There are three groups of people we may still vaccinate if needed:
- Kids who need a second dose for this flu season
- People traveling to the southern hemisphere
- If there is an institutional outbreak – we would vaccinate residents.

1. BE INFORMED about the different types of emergencies that can happen in your area and their appropriate responses.
2. MAKE A family communication PLAN.
4. GET INVOLED in community preparedness.
