It’s that time of year….

It’s that time of year again; time to protect yourself and your loved ones. It is flu shot season, and our practice recommends a flu shot if you: have contact with other people, particularly school aged children or the elderly, travel for work or pleasure, have a chronic medical condition, or prefer not to to have an illness where you feel miserable for 4-7 days or longer. Call us to schedule your flu shot!

While you are thinking about it, schedule a visit to review your immunization status to see what other shots you may be due for. This is a good idea for protecting both yourself and your loved ones.
