Description: The Colorado Flu Shot Company will be providing family flu immunization clinics. The flu vaccinations are now recommended by the Center for Disease Control and the American Academy of Pediatrics for anyone 6 months of age and older who would like to increase their chances of a Flu free Fall/Winter season. The CDC in 2006 has changed the age range of high risk children to include all children 5 years and under, and their care givers. This is because younger children are most at risk for secondary infections (pneumonia, bronchitis, ear infections), and complications from the virus result in more childhood hospitalizations than any other vaccine -preventable disease. Others at higher risk include: anyone with asthma, heart disease, kidney disease, nursing or pregnant mothers, and cancer patients. School age children/students are also the most common source of spreading the virus.
