As flu season approaches, Ellinwood Hospital & Clinic is committed to keeping our community informed and healthy. Dr. Christopher Brown, M.D., recently shared important advice in a video about how families can protect themselves during influenza season.
Dr. Brown emphasized three key steps to reducing your risk:
Wash your hands regularly to prevent the spread of germs.
Avoid close contact with individuals who are sick.
Get your flu shot — the most effective way to protect yourself and your loved ones.
Flu shots are available at the Ellinwood Clinic during all normal business hours, including our Walk-In Clinic hours beginning at 7 a.m. on Wednesdays and Thursdays. No appointment is needed.
The flu vaccine is recommended for nearly everyone 6 months and older. Those at higher risk for complications include children under 5, adults over 65, pregnant women, and individuals with chronic conditions.
To learn more, watch Dr. Brown’s full video message and stop by the Ellinwood Clinic to get your flu shot today.
