Flu Vaccine

Protect yourself and the people around you by getting a flu shot vaccine.

The flu season has officially arrived and it’s time to get vaccinated! Protect your health and the health of those people around you by getting a flu shot vaccine. It’s easy at NIMVAX, as we offer influenza immunizations for patients based on CDC guidelines and the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). Getting a flu shot is an effective way to prevent flu-related symptoms and illness. Schedule an appointment at our immunization clinic to receive your flu vaccination this year.

Why Get a Flu Shot

Protect Yourself

The flu can cause serious health problems, including pneumonia, bronchitis, and even death. If you are pregnant, have a chronic disease such as asthma or diabetes, or are elderly, it is especially important to get vaccinated against the flu this year.

Protect Others

Washing your hands and covering your mouth when you cough or sneeze are simple ways to help reduce the spread of influenza. However, getting a flu shot is the most important step to take this flu season in order to protect yourself and the people around you.

Stay Safe

Each year, scientists update flu vaccinations to protect people from the flu viruses that are most likely to cause illness during the upcoming season. So, even if you got a flu shot last year, it's important to get one again this year to stay protected.

The Importance of Flu Vaccinations

Each year, the flu causes millions of illnesses and thousands of deaths in the United States. Vaccination is the best way to protect yourself from the flu. NIMVAX offers flu vaccinations at their state of the art vaccine-only pharmacy in Beverly, MA, using only FDA-approved vaccines to ensure that patients receive a safe and effective vaccine.

Each year, the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) updates its recommendations for flu viruses as well as which types of flu vaccines are available, so it’s important to get vaccinated each season no matter how many years have passed since your last shot.

Who Should Get a Flu Shot?

The CDC recommends an annual flu vaccination for anyone 6 months of age and older. The flu vaccination is especially important for people at high risk for flu complications, which includes pregnant women, the elderly, and people with chronic diseases such as asthma, diabetes, or heart disease. At NIMVAX, we provide flu vaccinations to adults and children ages 3 years of age and older.
