FLU SHOT AVAILABILITY EXPANDED VS

PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICIALS ACROSS CALIFORNIA HAVE EXPANDED THE LIST OF PEOPLE WHO QUALIFY FOR FLU SHOTS. WITH A GOOD SUPPLY OF VACCINATIONS ON HAND, YOU NOW QUALIFY IF YOU ARE 50-YEARS-OLD AND OLDER, ARE AN EMERGENCY SERVICE WORKER, OR SOMEONE WHO HAS REGULAR CONTACT WITH PERSONS AT HIGH RISK FOR SERIOUS COMPLICATIONS FROM THE FLU. OFFICIALS SAY IT ISN'T TOO LATE TO GET A FLU SHOT, SINCE THE FLU SEASON IN CALIFORNIA TYPICALLY PEAKS AROUND CHRISTMAS, AND CONTINUES THROUGH THE EARLY MONTHS OF THE NEW YEAR.
