What Is Influenza and What Are Common Flu Symptoms?

Flu season is officially here, and if you want to reduce your risk, that means getting your yearly flu shot to stay safe. Flu season can begin as early as October and last as long as May, with infection rates often spiking around February.

Not everyone who contracts the flu will experience all of these symptoms, but they are commonly associated with influenza infection. And some infected individuals can spread the flu without showing any symptoms themselves.

This is why the CDC recommends getting a yearly flu shot like the ones Lake Charles Urgent Care provides for individuals 6 months of age or older: immunization doesn't just protect you from the flu, it also protects the people around you. Our clinic offers flu shots to patients 4 years of age or older.

You can also ask about other shots and vaccine services.
