Flu Shots Plant City
Starting in early December and lasting well through March, flu season is always right around the corner. The contagious respiratory illness affects everyone differently. In some, the flu may last only three days to a week, yet others may suffer with more serious complications such as bacterial pneumonia, dehydration, and the aggravation of chronic medical conditions, including: diabetes, asthma, and heart disease. If not treated properly, the results can be catastrophic.
Children and the elderly are at the highest risk for major complications and when symptoms arise it’s imperative they seek medical attention.
