Flu Shot Benefits for Children
The flu vaccine is the best protection we have against seasonal influenza. It reduces the risk of:
- Flu-related hospitalizations
- Severe illness
- Missed school and activities
- Spreading flu to vulnerable family members
Yes, it’s safe. Yes, it’s worth it. A small step today can prevent a big illness later.

- Soreness at the injection site
- Low-grade fever
- Fatigue or fussiness
- Mild muscle aches or headache
- Rare: Allergic reaction or fainting
Our team is always here to answer questions and guide you through the process.
