It’s Not Too Late to Get Your Flu Shot: Rising Respiratory Virus Levels Highlight Importance of Vaccination
As respiratory virus activity continues to climb across the country, Texas is one of 38 states reporting “very high” respiratory virus level activities.
With more than 55,000 combined hospitalizations for COVID-19 and the flu reported nationwide during the final week of 2023, it’s important to remember that it’s never too late to get your flu shot.
No matter your age or health status, vaccination is the best way to protect yourself and your community against these illnesses. Hereford Regional Medical Center, along with the CDC and top health experts, recommends everyone over the age of six months receive the flu vaccine and an updated COVID-19 booster, and that adults over the age of 60 receive the RSV vaccine.
It’s easy to make an appointment with Hereford Health Clinic to update your COVID-19 protection and get your annual flu shot. You can even receive both vaccines at the same visit. Appointment hours are available Monday – Friday, from 8:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.
Call 806-364-7512 to schedule a vaccine appointment today.
Hereford Regional Medical Center is committed to delivering excellent preventative care like updated COVID-19 boosters and providing our community with accurate, trusted, and up-to-date vaccine information. Speak to your doctor about any questions you may have regarding flu or COVID vaccines.
