Don't let flu season ruin your football season!

The flu is a serious disease that causes millions of illnesses and thousands of deaths each year, and the flu vaccine can help protect people. That's why Virginia Mason encourages everyone to get their flu shots between September and November every year.

Virginia Mason offers flu shots at nine locations throughout Puget Sound. Ask your provider about getting a flu shot at your next primary care visit. Your insurance will be billed for your flu vaccine (most insurance plans cover the flu vaccine at 100 percent).
