Influenza, commonly known as the flu, is a highly contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses. It can cause mild to severe illness and, in some cases, can lead to death. Vaccination is crucial in preventing the spread of the flu and protecting individuals, particularly those in high-risk groups such as young children, the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems.
The flu clinic organized by the East Hanover Health Department is an important initiative to ensure that residents have access to the influenza vaccine, which is known to be effective in preventing the flu. By hosting these clinics, the health department aims to promote public health and reduce the impact of influenza in the community.
To register and make an appointment for the influenza clinic, residents are advised to contact the East Hanover Health Department.
