The Camden County Department of Health and Human Services recommends everyone get a flu shot this flu season. An annual flu vaccine can reduce illnesses in the community, decrease the time missed at work and school, and prevent flu-related hospitalizations and deaths. Don’t wait to protect yourself and your family!
Some symptoms of flu and COVID-19 are similar; therefore, people may need to be tested to tell what virus is causing their illness. People can be infected with both a flu virus and the virus that causes COVID-19 at the same time. In general, COVID-19 seems to spread more easily than flu and causes more serious illnesses in some people. Compared to people who have flu infections, people who have COVID-19 can take longer to show symptoms and be contagious for longer. FREE! NO out-of-pocket cost.
The seasonal flu vaccine is recommended for:
- People 6 months of age and older
- Pregnant women
- People who live in nursing homes and other long term care facilities
- People of any age with certain chronic medical conditions:
- Heart disease
- Kidney disease
- Lung diseases, like asthma
- Metabolic diseases, like diabetes
- Blood disorders, like anemia
- A weakened immune system caused, for example, by cancer or cancer treatment, HIV/AIDS, or steroid therapy
- Certain conditions such as neuromuscular disorders that can cause breathing problems
- People who live with or care for those at high risk for complications from the flu, including:
- Health care workers
- Household contacts of persons at high risk for complications from the flu
- Household contacts and out of home caregivers of children less than 6 months of age (these children are too young to be vaccinated)
