YEAR END PARTY AT NOYPITZ CERRITOS 12/13/2019

It's not too late to #FightFlu by getting your flu shot! Pediatrician Dr. Wendy Sue Swanson explains the 2018/2019 flu vaccine recommendations. The vaccine is an essential, every year vaccine for all children age 6 months and up.

Don't wait to vaccinate! Even if it is not a good match to the virus now circulating, the vaccine helps to ease the severity and duration of symptoms if you come down with the flu. Young children are considered among the most vulnerable to complications from the disease, and a shot can significantly reduce a child's chances of dying. High-dose vaccines are recommended for elderly people, who also are exceptionally vulnerable to illness, hospitalization and death related to the flu, according to the CDC.
