It's Officially Flu Season

Culmore Clinic is pleased to announce that seasonal flu vaccines are now available for our patients! We are offering both the standard dose and the high-dose flu vaccine for those who meet the medical criteria. Our goal is to help protect our community and keep patients healthy throughout the flu season.

We share with our patients that the flu vaccine is the best way to lower the risk of getting sick with influenza and to prevent spreading the virus to others. Each year, flu viruses change, so it is important to get a new vaccine annually. The flu vaccine can reduce the severity of illness, help prevent complications, and protect people with chronic health conditions who are at greater risk for serious outcomes.

When getting vaccinated, patients not only protect themselves but also those around them—including children, older adults, and people with weaker immune systems. The high-dose flu vaccine offers extra protection for older adults who may not respond as strongly to the regular dose.

We are currently encouraging patients to schedule an appointment for a flu vaccine, which only takes a few minutes. 

Have you gotten yours? Together, we can stay healthier and stronger this flu season.
