Flu season has officially begun — and the single best way to prevent your family or you from contracting the flu is to get a flu vaccine each season. The CDC emphasizes that the benefits of flu vaccinations are numerous and well researched: they can reduce the risk of flu-associated hospitalization; they are an important preventive tool for people with chronic health conditions; vaccination helps protect women during and after pregnancy; and, getting vaccinated also protects people around you who are more susceptible to illness, such as babies, young children and seniors.
