It's Flu Season -- "Infection: Don't Pass it on!"
Fayetteville VA Medical Center will be offering free flu shots in our primary care clinics for all enrolled veterans, please ask your provider. Seasonal flu is a viral infection that causes more than 200,000 hospitalizations and approximately 36,000 deaths each year in the United States. VISN6 encourages patients, employees, and volunteers to consider getting vaccinated for the flu this year. If every employee and volunteer becomes vaccinated against influenza, we could really make a difference in the lives of veterans and their families. Protect yourself, protect your family and protect the veterans we serve.
