THE STATE DEPARTMENT ON AGING IS URGING OLDER ILLINOIANS TO GET THEIR FLU SHOT.
THE FLU VACCINE IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT FOR SENIORS AND THOSE WITH UNDERLYING MEDICAL CONDITIONS SAYS DEPARTMENT ON AGING DIRECTOR PAULA BASTA.
BASTA SAYS GETTING YOUR FLU SHOT AND PREVENTING COMPLICATIONS ALSO REDUCED THE STRAIN ON THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM AND LEAVES HOSPITAL BEDS OPEN FOR COVID-19 PATIENTS.
