Baptist Health encourages Arkansans to stay healthy and protect themselves from the flu by getting their annual flu shot, in addition to proper hand hygiene and other safety measures. The best way to prevent the flu is by being vaccinated every year.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that anyone age 6 months and older receive the flu vaccine.
The flu shot can reduce potential risks should you contract both the flu and COVID-19. Vaccination is particularly important for people who are at high risk for serious flu complications, including young children; pregnant women; people with chronic health conditions like asthma, diabetes, heart disease, and lung disease; and people 65 years and older. Getting a flu shot is also important for people who live with or care for anyone at high risk for serious flu complications.
If anyone is sick with a fever, cough or any symptoms of COVID-19, they should consult with their provider and not attend a shot clinic.
Additional flu shot dates and places are available. To learn more about Baptist Health flu shot locations or to schedule an appointment with a primary care provider to get vaccinated, visit baptisthealth. com/flushot.
