It's coming!! The FLU!!!! Yes, it is still August and alot of us are still in summer mode despite this horrible rainy weather. But we have to face the truth, that it is almost fall and that means flu season. Please be smart and get a flu vaccine! Some people say they don't work, others say that they will get the flu from the flu shot but the truth is that the flu vaccine is our best defense against this horrible illness. Lets keep ourselves and our kiddos healthy and happy! GET A FLU VACCINE!!
While I am on this topic, I will talk a little about TDaP vaccine. This is a vaccine that protects against Tetanus, Diptheria and Pertussis (Whooping Cough). This is a one time vaccine that I recommend for EVERYONE! But it is especially important if you are pregnant, a parent, grandparent or are around infants/small children. So that pretty much encompasses everyone that would be reading this post. Pertussis is on the rise in infants and youngins'. They get this horrific illness from us! The adults that take care of them and love them carry the whooping cough inside their bodies, and we pass it along to them. Let's protect our kiddos and get TDaP!
