National Influenza Vaccination Week: December 2-8, 2018

Get vaccinated to help prevent spread of flu

By Barbara Fox/Beth Fisher

Frankfort, KY - The Kentucky Department for Public Health (DPH), within the Cabinet for Health and Family Services, encourages Kentuckians to get a flu shot during National Influenza Vaccination Week, Dec. 2-8, to help prevent the spread of flu this holiday season.

"The flu vaccine is the single best way to protect you and your loved ones against the flu," said Jeff Howard, M.D., commissioner of DPH. "If you are vaccinated, you are less likely to get the flu and spread the flu to those at greatest risk for becoming dangerously ill, including young children, pregnant women, people 65 and older and those with certain medical conditions. By getting vaccinated you are protecting your family and those people you cross paths with every day."
