Not Too Late to Get a Flu Shot

If you skipped the flu shot earlier this year, it's still not too late to get one.

Flu season doesn't peak until February, health officials say, and getting a shot— even if it's in January — can help prevent it. 

South Carolina is one of eight states reporting widespread influenza activity, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. More than 36,000 people die from the flu each year.

The vaccine is available through a shot or nasal spray, according to Flu.gov. 

It's also key to know who is at a higher risk for getting the flu: children, infants, pregnant women, seniors, people with disabilities, travelers, and people with health conditions.
