What Western New York Families Should Know
Flu season in Western New York usually runs from fall through spring, with cases often peaking in winter. Knowing the symptoms and getting vaccinated early are the best ways to protect your family.
The flu tends to come on suddenly. Symptoms often include:
The CDC recommends an annual flu vaccine for everyone 6 months and older, with rare exceptions. It is best to get vaccinated in early fall, but getting a flu shot later in the season still helps.
Flu shots are available on a walk-in basis at all three AFC Urgent Care clinics.
A rapid flu test can confirm the flu in a single visit. Antiviral medicine works best when started within 48 hours of the first symptoms, so do not wait if you are at higher risk or feel very sick.
