Story Behind the Curve
Annual Influenza immunizations are recommended for everyone over 6 months of age, but children and elderly are at a particularly high risk. Flu vaccination is also especially important for adults 65 years and older who have a higher risk of hospitalization and death if they become ill with the flu. Vermonters 65 years and older can receive the flu vaccine at provider practices, pharmacies, flu clinics held throughout Vermont by visiting nurse associations and at some worksites.
