 A bout with the flu can knock a healthy person off his or her feet for a week with fatigue, fever, cough, body-aches and pains. Certain segments of the population -- people over the age of 65, children under two, pregnant women, and people with chronic conditions such as asthma or diabetes -- are at higher risk for complications of the flu. These people should make getting the flu shot a priority in their lives. 

 Joseph Chow, MD, medical director of Western New York Immediate Care says, "even in January it's not too late to get your vaccination and give yourself the best possible chance at prevention."

No appointment is necessary and most insurance plans cover the cost of a flu shot. Stop by at one of our four locations and get yours today!
