The following are some great information resources Continuum has compiled for you to learn more about what’s new for the 2011/2012 season:
- Information on Vaccine Selection for 2011/2012 Season. Find out more information on this year’s vaccine from this link to the CDC website.
- Learn about the New Fluzone High-Dose Vaccine for Seniors. This season, seniors can choose a higher dose vaccine designed specifically for people age 65 and older. Fluzone High-Dose vaccine contains four times the amount of antigen (the part of the vaccine that prompts the body to make antibody) contained in regular flu shots.
- Local Flu Vaccination Center Finder Flu.gov provides this handy tool to find places to receive vaccinations in our local area.
