Flu season is here – to help prevent catching the seasonal flu, do not forget to get your flu vaccine. The CDC recommends the flu vaccine for everyone over 6 months of age. Children under 2, adults 65 and over, and people with chronic conditions are at a higher risk of developing complications from the flu. Learn more about the flu here. If you are on Neighborhood House’s insurance plan, you can make a free appointment with Kaiser.
