Flu Shots

The Influenza virus is no laughing matter and takes the lives of many residents in NY and nationwide every single year. The main thing to remember when it comes to children and the Flu is that our young ones are more susceptible to the virus due to their brittle immune systems when compared to adults. As an “at risk” age group it’s wise to speak to your local pediatrician about whether flu shots are the right choice for your kids. Don’t forget that strands of this virus changes every year and that means that a discussion should be had with your pediatrician every single year regarding protection against these new strands.
