While each flu season differs in severity, during most seasons, people 65 years and older bear the greatest burden of disease. The burden from flu in 2020 was low due to COVID-19 protections— staying home, mask wearing, physical distancing, avoiding crowds, and less travel. However, the rate of seasonal flu-related deaths and hospitalizations remain high for older adults. This increased risk is due in part to declines in immune response with age.
CVS Flu Clinic is scheduled for Thursday, November 10th from 9:30-1:30. Anyone interested in receiving their flu vaccine must register ahead of time by contacting the Healthy Aging Nurse Coordinator at 270-1792.
