Vaccine Uptake Concerns

Vaccination rates among young children are lagging, with only one in five vaccinated, raising concerns about community health as the holiday season approaches. With the potential for a twin demic of COVID and flu this winter, the CDC is noting an uptick in flu cases, particularly among college students. Experts emphasize the importance of flu vaccinations, especially given the prevalence of strains associated with more severe illness. It's not too late to get the flu shot for added protection.
