Where Can You Get a Flu Vaccine in Palo Alto?

Flu season is here and with at least two new strains already being passed around, here's where you and your family can get this year's vaccine.

 

Flu season usually begins in October and with at least two new strains of influenza being passed around this year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are recommending everyone get a flu shot.

Developed for the 2012-13 flu season, the vaccine will protect against three different flu viruses and is recommended for everyone six months of age and older. A person’s immune protection from vaccination declines over time and annual vaccination is needed for optimal protection.
