Flu Vaccine Critical During COVID-19
Getting an annual flu vaccine protects your family and community from the flu any year. But this year, JPHSA urges you to pay particular attention.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, reducing the overall burden of respiratory illnesses is important to protect vulnerable populations, the healthcare system, and other critical infrastructure during the COVID-19 pandemic. Everyone who is eligible should receive the vaccine, especially essential workers and those at increased risk for severe illness from COVID-19 and/or influenza complications.
Protect yourself by contacting JPHSA’s JeffCare Health Center at 838-5257 in Metairie or 349-8833 in Marrero.
