Did you know? It takes about two weeks after receiving the flu vaccine for antibodies to develop and provide protection in the body. That’s why October is the prime time to roll up your sleeves!
Immunizations don't just protect you—they create a safety net for infants, older adults, and anyone in our community with weakened immune systems who cannot get vaccinated. Choose science. Choose community protection.
Speak with a trusted healthcare provider today to see which updates or boosters you might need!
