The best way to protect yourself and your loved ones against influenza (flu) is to get a flu vaccine every flu season. Flu is a contagious respiratory disease that can lead to serious illness, hospitalization, or even death.
Flu season runs October-April, and the CDC recommends everyone over the age of 6 months get a flu shot each year.
Tahoe Forest Health System is offering flu vaccines in Truckee and Incline Village. No prescription is required.
