Who is a good candidate for flu vaccines, and what good do they really do?
Dr. Callahan strongly recommends the flu vaccine for anyone. Some categories of patients are at particularly high risk for the flu, and these include: • Those over 50 • People of any age with chronic medical conditions • Pregnant Women • People that live in nursing home or other long term care facilities • Children under 5 (please see your child’s pediatrician) • People who have household contact with anyone matching the above descriptions.
