Seasonal and H1N1 Flu Info
As it does every year, the flu will strike hundreds of thousands across the country. Approximately 36,000 Americans will actually die each year from the flu. The most important thing we can all do is get our flu shot, this and every year. This year, the seasonal flu vaccine includes the H1N1 vaccine.
Though we have concluded our 2011 public flu clinics, Ledge Light still has flu vaccine available to any one 6 months old and older. The cost is $15 or we accept Medicare Part B, Anthem Blue Cross and now ConnectiCare. Supply is limited. If you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment for a flu shot, please contact Kris Magnussen at (860) 448-4882 ext. 331 or kmagnussen@ledgelighthd.org.
Flu Prevention
In addition to getting vaccinated against the flu, it is important that we all take simple prevention measures to stop the spread of these and other diseases. Wash your hands, sneeze into a tissue or your sleeve instead of your hands, keep your hands away from your face and STAY HOME WHEN YOU ARE SICK!
