Louisiana Healthcare Connections is reminding Louisiana residents to get the influenza (flu) vaccine through its yearly Fluvention® program. Because the flu virus varies each year and affects each person differently, it’s important to get the flu vaccine every year to protect yourself from this serious illness. It’s also important to get the shot before the flu spreads, ideally before the end of October.
