Essentia Health is offering several options for vaccination ahead of flu season.
Flu vaccines are recommended for anyone 6 months of age and older. They are covered by most insurance and are one of the best ways to protect yourself and loved ones from influenza. With COVID-19 continuing to stress health systems, it’s important to take every possible precaution against illness.
