It's Time for Your Flu Shot
Influenza (flu) season usually runs from October through May. Last year's flu season started earlier than usual in Alabama and caused a big spike in emergency room visits in December 2024 and January 2025. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that everyone six months and older, with rare exceptions, get a flu shot every season. Flu shots can reduce flu illnesses, hospitalizations, and deaths.
Getting your flu shot early in the season is the best way to protect yourself and others.
The flu shot is free for VIVA HEALTH and VIVA MEDICARE members.
