LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – The flu vaccine is more important than ever, and that’s why Baptist Health is offering vaccinations at its primary care and urgent care clinics across the state.
Insurance will be filed or a nominal fee will be charged at clinics.
The best way to prevent the flu is by being vaccinated every year. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that anyone age 6 months and older receive the flu vaccine. The flu shot can reduce potential risks should you contract both the flu and COVID-19.
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
