The CDC recommends annual flue vaccines for everyone 6 months of age and older. While there are many different flu viruses, the flu vaccine is designed to protect against the three main flu strains that research indicates will cause the most illness during the flu season. Getting immunized as soon as it becomes available each year is always a good idea, and the protection you get from vaccination will last throughout the flu season.
Here’s some info on how to get vaccinated in the Bothell area this winter:
Snohomish Health District clinics have a limited supply of the four-strain kind, and will resupply with three- strain vaccine. The Health District also will have some high-dose vaccine but will not stock the egg-free vaccine.
Washing hands and covering your coughs are effective ways to reduce spreading and getting diseases. The Centers for Disease Control & Prevention and the American Committee on Immunization Practice do not recommend one type of flu vaccine over another. Ask your health care provider which kind of vaccine is right for you.
You can get immunized at a Snohomish County Health Clinic at the following locations and times:
