Where to Get Flu Shots in Palo Alto

The CDC reports that up to 20% of the US population will get the flu with 200,000 or more requiring hospitalization. The flu is a serious health condition that can easily be diminished or avoided with a flu shot according to the CDC.

Last year Palo Alto saw many residents sick with the H1N1 virus, some requiring hospitalization. While in 2009 there was a shortage of vaccines, this year there should be an ample supply. The flu vaccine will protect against 3 flu viruses: H3N2 virus, influenza B, and H1N1 virus from 2009. Santa Clara County Health Officials are urging residents to arm themselves against the flu this year. Many local and national pharmacies offer flu shots as well as many grocery stores.
