Flu Shots
An annual flu shot is your best protection against the
flu. The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention state that flu shots may be given throughout the entire
flu season. In Michigan, flu season typically continues through
March. Seasonal flu vaccine and H1N1 vaccine are still recommended for individuals who are traveling.

Kids need flu shots, too!
On the afternoon of
February 3, 2003, 5 1/2 year-old Alana Yaksich spent the
day with her parents and brothers watching movies, eating sundaes
and playing.
Although she had a lowgrade fever from a recent sore
throat (for which she had
finished a course of antibiotics), Alana enjoyed the
afternoon feeling healthy and surrounded by her friends and family.
Later that evening, she developed a
106-degree fever and was rushed to the emergency room. Within
hours of her arrival at the local hospital, Alana died of
flu-related complications
that caused swelling
and injury to
her brain. To learn more about Alana, visit www.alanasflufoundation.org
