People have the option to receive effective, responsive care and resources within their local communities and from providers who reflect those communities. The health system is shaped by and responsive to the needs of all people.

FIGHT AGAINTS FLU
YOUR BEST PROTECTION AGAINST FLU
Millions of people get flu every year, hundreds of thousands of people are hospitalized and thousands or tens of thousands of people die. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), public health professionals, and our practice recommend that everyone 6 months of age and older should get a flu vaccine every year.
FLU VACCINE REDUCES YOUR RISK OF FLU
CDC estimates that flu has resulted in
9 million – 41 million illnesses, 140,000 –
710,000 hospitalizations and 12,000 –
52,000 deaths annually between 2010
and 2020.3
Recent studies show that flu vaccination reduces the risk of flu illness by between 40% and 60% among the overall population during seasons when most circulating flu viruses are well-matched
to the flu vaccine.

each year prior to the COVID-19 pandemic ranged from 37 (2011-2012 season) to 199
deaths (2019-2020 season.)
