Texas Influenza (Flu) Season

Protect yourself and others from the flu.  
Every dose matters.

Childcare Providers - Resources

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), influenza causes more hospitalizations among young children than any other vaccine-preventable disease. The single best way to protect against seasonal flu and its potential severe complications is for children to get a seasonal influenza vaccine each year. Flu vaccination is recommended for all children aged 6 months and older. Making healthy choices at school and at home can help prevent the flu and spreading flu to others.
