Flu vaccinations are safe and the best way to protect yourself from flu; by getting immunized, you are also protecting more vulnerable individuals, such as infants and the elderly, who are very susceptible to serious illness from influenza.

Influenza is a viral respiratory illness marked by the sudden onset of fever, headache, extreme tiredness, dry cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, and muscle aches. It spreads when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks, sending the highly contagious virus into the air. Learn more at http://flu.sd.gov.
