Why Are Flu Shots Important for Health?

Flu shots are a safeguard against the flu, a contagious respiratory disease that can cause severe health issues, particularly for vulnerable groups. The vaccine introduces a weakened or inactive form of the flu virus, prompting your body to develop antibodies that combat the virus. Getting vaccinated significantly decreases your chances of contracting the flu and spreading it to others. Columbia Clinic Urgent Care offers flu shots.
