Influenza
Influenza is a serious respiratory illness that affects people in Nebraska each winter. Influenza is not the same thing as a cold or the "stomach flu." People infected with influenza are ill with fevers, cough, sore throat, muscle aches, headaches, and fatigue often for a week or longer. Some cases of influenza can lead to pneumonia and even death. Each year, an average of 36,000 people die from influenza. These are some of the reasons why it is so important to get your family vaccinated.
The influenza vaccine is recommended for almost everyone over 6 months of age. Village Pointe and Dundee Pediatrics offer influenza shots for patients 6 months and older. Talk to your doctor about whether the vaccine is right for your child. Each day, we offer appointments with our nurses to provide quick and convenient influenza vaccinations for the children in your family.
