At Evernorth Care Group, we take your protection from the flu very seriously. Here are some key points to consider when deciding whether you and your loved ones should get a flu shot:

 

Getting a flu vaccine can reduce the severity of your illness and lower the risk of flu-related hospitalizations.

For those with chronic health conditions, the flu shot is a crucial preventive measure.

If you're pregnant, the flu vaccine not only protects you but also provides immunity for your baby during and after pregnancy, keeping them safe in their early months.

The flu shot can reduce the risk of severe, life-threatening influenza in children by 75%.

 

Our own Lisa Calderon added that “Getting the flu vaccination is not just a personal choice. It is a responsibility we have towards one another. By getting vaccinated, we protect not only ourselves but also those who are vulnerable and unable to receive vaccines. Protect yourself. Protect your loved ones. Get your flu vaccine!”

 

Flu shots are available Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Age requirements vary by location, and appointments are required. Stay protected this flu season by getting your flu shot.
