WHY GET THE FLU VACCINE?
Influenza is a serious disease that can cause pneumonia, encephalitis and death in young children. Approximately 20,000 children are hospitalized for Influenza-related illnesses in the US each year, and 77% are under 5 years old. An average of 92 Influenza-associated deaths occur among children under 5 each year.

WE DON'T FILE INSURANCE FOR FLU VACCINES AND PAYMENT IS EXPECTED AT TIME OF SERVICE.
