December has been a busy month for About Cold and Flu. We're getting into the heart of cold and flu season and we participated in various activities related to the CDC's National Influenza Vaccination Week at the beginning of the month.
It's still not too late to get your flu vaccine if you haven't done so yet. If you want to know more about flu vaccines, find out which one is right for you or learn why different groups need to be vaccinated against the flu, find out what you need to know in our National Influenza Vaccination Week Wrap Up.
I also had the opportunity to speak with Dr. Joe Bresee, Chief of Epidemiology and Prevention at the CDC's Influenza Division about what that agency is doing to protect us from the influenza virus this season. See how the CDC is working to protect us from the flu.
Want to know what is happening with the flu this year? Learn more about what we have seen so far during the 2011-12 flu season and what we might expect. While no one can predict the future, there are things we already know about the circulating flu viruses and the vaccine that is available.
There are multiple flu vaccine options available now, you don't necessarily have to get the traditional flu shot. You may be wondering about the preservative free flu vaccine (it does not contain thimerosal) or want to see if the nasal spray flu vaccine may be right for your family. Learn about all of your options and find out which one is right for you, all in one place.
