Dear Parents,
Every year is reported that over 200,000 people are hospitalized due to the Flu and 36,000 die as results of it. For this reason Doctors recommend that everyone from the age of 6 months and up receive the Flu Shot. Only those allergic to eggs & chicken protein should not get it. What should you look for?
