Flu Resources
 
Whether it's seasonal influenza or the H1N1 virus, flu vaccine is your best protection. In addition to calling your primary care provider for a seasonal flu vaccine appointment, you may also check with your HMO or health insurance carrier, your employer, or your local public health department to find out how you or a family member can get a flu vaccine.
