Veterans Encouraged to get updated Flu Shot
Flu season is here and that means that it’s time to get your updated flu shot. If you’re a veteran in need of a flu shot the Fargo VA Healthcare System is offering many different ways to get your vaccines up to date. Fargo VA Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Program Manager Caitlin Nitz tells us more.
Nitz says the Fargo VA is also encouraging veterans to get a new COVID 19 vaccine, and she explains why.
There’s a common misconception of flu shots not working, because soon after the shot people have reported themselves not feeling the greatest. Nitz says that this is common, and explains why this is actually a good thing.
Veterans with questions regarding the flu shot or COVID Vaccine should contact the Fargo VA Health Connect at 833-983-0492.
