Speak with your child’s pediatrician about getting vaccinated. 

Vaccination against the flu is particularly important for people who are at high risk for serious complications, including: 

  • Young children 
  • Pregnant women 
  • People with chronic health conditions such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease and lung disease 
  • People 65 years and older 
  • People who live with or care for anyone at high risk for serious flu complications
