DHS Encourages You to Protect Yourself Against the Flu by Getting Vaccinated
" Fall is the best time to get vaccinated and flu vaccines are available"
The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) encourages everyone six months and older to get vaccinated against influenza (flu) [ [link removed] ] this fall. Getting your flu vaccine is the best way to prevent serious illness, hospitalization, and death caused by the virus. You can get the flu vaccine alone or at the same time as other vaccines, including the COVID-19 vaccine, whether it’s your first or second dose, or a booster.
“While the timing of peak flu cases is difficult to predict, it typically circulates in the fall and winter months. That’s why we recommend getting your yearly flu vaccine in the fall, before flu cases begin to increase,” said Tom Haupt, DHS Influenza Surveillance Coordinator. “Getting your flu vaccine, staying home when you are sick, and hand washing are all important things we can do to stop respiratory illnesses like influenza from spreading.”
