May be an image of ‎text that says '‎PREVENTION IS KEY Oس Get Your Flu Shot Today Because flu viruses evolve so quickly, last year's vaccine may not protect you from this year's viruses. New flu vaccines are released every year to keep up with rapidly adapting flu viruses. Available at all CCH clinics! When you get vaccinated your immune system produces antibodies to protect you from the viruses included in the vaccine. But antibody levels may decline over time another reason to get a flu shot every year.1‎'‎
