The 2023-2024 flu season is ramping up! One of the best ways to safeguard your family against the flu and other contagious illnesses is by getting everyone vaccinated.
While it’s not a guarantee, the flu shot significantly reduces your family’s risk of catching the flu — and if you do get sick, it can reduce the severity of symptoms and the need for hospitalization. Flu shots and other routine vaccinations are FREE with Florida KidCare.
To help Florida families stay healthy during cold and flu season, Florida KidCare developed and launched FluInFlorida.org, an interactive Cold and Flu Season Wellness Guide that provides tips and information on:
- The Importance of Getting Vaccinated Against the Flu
- Where to Get a Flu Shot
- How to Reduce the Risk of Getting Sick
- What to Look For: Cold & Flu Symptoms
- Survey: How Florida Families Prevent the Spread of Cold & Flu
- Cold and Flu Home Remedies
