The Center for Women believe in prevention of many types and Immunizations is in high regard. We want to empower women with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions about their healthcare, and that includes immunizations. Immunizations assist in keeping you, your family and your friends safer. 

Everyone 6 months and older should get a flu shot every season, especially those at high risk of contracting the flu. Target time for this immunization is before you contract the virus so the earlier you get it after season starts, the better. In this area, flu seasons seems to begin in October and will run as late as March of the following year. The Center for Women offer influenza immunization to our patients. It can be given at your next appointment or you can schedule to just come receive this immunization.  

There are steps to take to assist in spreading the influenza germs. These would be using a tissue to cover when you cough or sneeze; wash your hands or use an alcohol based cleaner when needed; always avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth; clean and disinfect areas that could be contaminated; avoid going anywhere while sick; avoid persons that are contaminated; and take the flu antiviral drug if prescribed to you.

So again, The Center for Women want to remind you to Vaccinate, Stop Germ/Germ Spreading, and take your Flu Antiviral if prescribed.

The Center for Women is available to schedule appointments for your flu immunization. Call us at (870) 425-7300 to schedule yours today.
