“The flu vaccine is the safest and most effective way to avoid getting the flu and prevents you from spreading the flu to your loved ones,” said Dr. Karen Relucio, Napa County Health Officer. “Even if you were vaccinated last year, you should be vaccinated this year and every year for protection from the flu.”

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend everyone over six months of age get a flu vaccine. Those at higher risk for complications of the flu, including seniors over 65 years, pregnant women, children under five years and people with certain chronic medical conditions, are especially encouraged to get vaccinated.

In addition to getting vaccinated, simple steps to help stop the spread of the flu:

1) Wash hands often with soap and warm water for at least 30 seconds.

2) Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue or sleeve.

3) Stay home and contact health care providers when sick.

Residents unable to attend the flu vaccine clinics or with children less than three years of age can call the Public Health Immunization Clinic at (707) 253-4270 for a free appointment.
