Flu Facts

As illustrated by this week’s flu report, rates of flu-like illness in Massachusetts have once again increased over the past week and, as we know, flu activity can continue well into February and March.  That’s why we continue to encourage everyone six months or older in the Commonwealth to get a flu vaccine. Please contact your health care provider, your local board of health, or your local pharmacy to get a flu shot today.
