Bilingual report — It’s that time of year again, time for your annual flu vaccination!

COCONINO COUNTY — It’s that time of year again, time for your annual flu vaccination! Flu vaccination has many benefits including reducing the risk of flu illness, hospitalizations and even the risk of flu-related death.

Getting a seasonal vaccine is especially important for young children because they are at increased risk of getting severe illness from flu. Children six months and older should get the flu vaccine. Infants younger than six months are at higher risk of the flu illness but are still too young to be vaccinated. People who care for infants should be vaccinated instead.

Coconino County Health and Human Services’ Health and Wellness Clinic offers flu shots. Most insurance is accepted, no one will be turned away for their inability to pay. To make an appointment, call 928-679-7222. For more information, please visit: https://bit.ly/3LcdAwq

¡Es ese tiempo del año otra vez, el momento para su vacunación anual contra la gripe!

CONDADO DE COCONINO – – ¡Es ese tiempo del año otra vez, el momento para su vacunación anual contra la gripe! La vacunación contra la influenza tiene muchos beneficios, incluso la reducción del riesgo de enfermedad por influenza, hospitalizaciones, e incluso el riesgo de muerte relacionada con la influenza.

Recibir una vacuna estacional es especialmente importante para los niños pequeños porque corren un mayor riesgo de contraer una enfermedad grave a causa de la gripe. Los niños de seis meses en adelante deben vacunarse contra la gripe. Los bebés menores de seis meses corren un mayor riesgo de contraer la gripe, pero aún son demasiado pequeños para ser vacunados. En cambio, las personas que cuidan a los bebés deben vacunarse.
La Clínica de Salud y Bienestar del Departamento de Salud y Servicios Humanos del Condado de Coconino ofrece vacunas contra la gripe. Se aceptan la mayoría de los seguros, nadie será rechazado por su incapacidad de pagar. Para hacer una cita, llame al 928-679-7222.
