National Influenza Vaccination Week

January 10-16, 2010 is National Influenza Vaccination Week being promoted by the CDC and flu.gov.  According to the CDC, the 2009 H1N1 virus is still causing sickness and death, and vaccination is your best protection.  Now that the high risk populations have been covered, the vaccines are available to the general public.  

There are several tools available for locating the nearest flu shot clinic.  Google Maps can help you find a flu shot.  Just input a zip code, address, or city and the return information pinpoints locations that offer seasonal, H1N1, or both.  You can also contact your local health department for information on free clinics.  Ingham County, Eaton County, Clinton County.
