Where to get a flu shot:

The flu season in Snohomish County is proving to be more severe than usual . Three adults in our county have died from flu complications in the past several weeks.

Washing hands, covering your coughs, and staying home when you are sick are effective ways to reduce spreading and getting diseases. The best way to prevent illness is vaccination.

Getting a current flu shot is the best way to protect yourself and others. Everyone 6 months and older should get a shot every year, since the flu vaccine changes to match the most common illnesses.
