At this time, all seasonal flu clinics Maxim offers to the public have been cancelled for the 2009-2010 influenza season due to lack of vaccine supply. You may be able to obtain a seasonal flu vaccine through your primary care physician.

More than 200,000 people are hospitalized from flu complications each year, including 20,000 children. The single best way to protect against the flu is to get vaccinated each year.

Every year in the United States, on average:

• 5% - 20% of the population gets the flu
• about 36,000 people die from the flu

Good Health Habits for Prevention

Cover Your Mouth and Nose
Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing. It may prevent those around you from getting sick.

Clean Your Hands
Washing your hands often will help protect from germs.

Avoid Touching Your Ears, Nose or Mouth
Germs are often spread when a person touches something that is contaminated with germs and then touches his or her eyes, nose, or mouth.

Stay Home When You Are Sick
If possible, stay home from work, school, and errands when you are sick. You will help prevent others from catching your illness.
