December 9th is Highlighted as Older Adults Day during National Influenza Vaccination Week

CDC has designated December 5-11 as National Influenza Vaccination Week to highlight the importance of being vaccinated to prevent the flu. December 9 is Older Adults day to highlight the need for the 65+ to be vaccinated because of the greater risk of serious medical consequences from having the flu.
