"For healthy people, the flu is usually a moderately severe illness," comments Terry Flannery, MD, Medical Director, Capital District Physicians' Health Plan, Inc. (CDPHP)."However, for people with existing health conditions- such as diabetes, asthma, heart disease, or lung problems- the flu can be dangerous, possibly even fatal."

Each year about 114,000 people in the U.S. are hospitalized and about 20,000 people die because of the flu.Most who die are over 65 years old.But children younger than 2 years are also likely to need hospital care due to the flu.

This is quite mild compared to real influenza symptoms," notes Dr. Flannery.

Even if you are healthy, it makes sense to protect yourself from suffering.Call your doctor's office right away to arrange a flu shot for a healthy New Year!
