Influenza Vaccination

The highly contagious disease, influenza, or “flu” causes considerable discomfort, inconvenience and loss of work time for millions of Americans. Thousands of people die from the flu each year. Although the elderly are especially vulnerable, all age groups may become infected and experience moderate to severe illness, often leading to pneumonia. Influenza vaccine is given yearly since flu viruses change significantly and the immune protection from vaccination decreases monthly. The optimum months for flu vaccination are October and November. Healthtech has implemented a highly effective flu vaccination program in which, over a span of ten years, has been responsible for over 400,000 inoculations.
