According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) up to 20% or more of the US population will suffer from influenza this year. Influenza is a serious respiratory illness that is easily spread and can lead to severe complications, even death, for you or somone with whom you come in contact. Each year in the US, on average, influenza and its related complications result in approximately 226,000 hospitalizations and 36,000 deaths.
Many people are affected by seasonal influenza every year and don't realize that geeting vaccinated is an easy way to protect their health, their family's health and the health of our community.
The Seattle Visiting Nurse Association Flu Immunization Program helps insure that our community and your employees, families, organizational members, teachers, and students are protected and stay healthy this coming Winter.
Caring for our community.
2013 Flu Vaccine. What you need to know
"The Faces of Influenza"
We are all "faces" of influenza and should be immunized this and every year. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), with the support of leading health experts, recommends that everyone 6 months of age and older be immunized.
Unfortunately influenza immunization rates fall far short of public health goals every year even among those at highest risk. The CDC recommends annual influenza immunization for everyone 6 months of age and older. Even healthy people need a flu shot – to help stay healthy and to help prevent the spread of flu to others.

Flu shots are important ... Find out why
Pertussis (also known as Whooping Cough) has reached an epidemic level in Washington State. It is a highly contagious respiratory disease that is particularly harmful to infants, who have no immunity. Health District officials urge all adults – especially those who have contact with infants – to get vaccinated against this preventable disease. Everyone age 11 an older needs a booster shot to maintain their immunity because the childhood vaccine wears off over time. A single shot known as “Tdap” prevents tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis.
The Seattle VNA is now scheduling Tdap (PERTUSSIS) immunization clinics.
