Get Your Flu Shot Today to Protect Yourself, Your Family, and Your Community.

Every year, the flu spreads through schools, workplaces, and neighborhoods. The 2026–2027 flu season includes updated virus strains, which means getting vaccinated is more important than ever to keep everyone safe.

The flu shot is the best way to lower your chances of getting sick.

It helps you by:

• Reducing your risk of getting the flu and needing a doctor’s visit.

• Lowering the chance of hospitalization or needing intensive care if you do get sick.

It helps your family and community by:

• Protecting babies, older adults, pregnant women, and people with health conditions who are more likely to get seriously ill.

• Reducing the spread of the flu so fewer people miss work or school.
