Benefits of Flu Vaccine
As a parent, ensuring the health and safety of our children is always a top priority. The flu can be more than just a bad cold—it can lead to serious complications, especially in young kids. Getting your children vaccinated not only protects them but also helps keep those around them safe, including siblings, grandparents, and friends. Here’s why it’s essential:

  1. Prevents Severe Illness: Children are at higher risk of developing complications from the flu, including pneumonia and dehydration. The flu shot significantly reduces this risk.
  2. Community Protection: Vaccinating your child helps create herd immunity, which protects vulnerable populations who cannot be vaccinated, such as infants under 6 months and individuals with certain health conditions.
  3. Keeps Kids in School: A flu shot can help minimize absenteeism from school. Healthy kids are better able to participate in class and extracurricular activities, which is vital for their social and educational development.
  4. Quick and Easy: The flu vaccine is a quick and straightforward process. Your child will be in and out in no time, and the benefits far outweigh any temporary discomfort.

How to Schedule Your Flu Shot
Appointments are recommended, but the best part? You don’t need to be an existing Atrium Health Levine Children’s patient to get vaccinated! Most insurance plans cover the flu shot at 100%, so be sure to check with your provider if you have any questions.
