PROTECTING YOURSELF FROM THE FLU

 ATTENTION:  Students, Parents, Faculty & Staff
 FROM:  Teresa Costakis, R.N. (518-398-7181 ext. 335)

 The best way to protect yourself from the flu is by getting vaccinated with the flu vaccine.  Because the flu virus changes each year, it is important that you receive a new flu vaccine every year.  The best months to get vaccinated are October through December; however, you can get vaccinated throughout the season.  Any protection against the flu is better than no protection; especially if you have asthma or other medical conditions.  Ask your doctor today if the vaccine is recommended for you.

 To find out about a local clinic, call the Dutchess County Department of Health, Flu Clinic Hotline at  845-486-3435.  For additional information about clinics, ask your local pharmacists as well as your school nurse.
