Keeping Grandma and Grandpa Flu-Free
Dr. Marie Savard Has Advice for Senior Citizens Facing Another Flu Season
If you have been reading my columns and following some of my advice, you may already carry a wallet card with your emergency health information. If you do, don't forget to update the area that lists date of pneumonia and flu shots.
If you don't carry an emergency health information card with you, you can print out this helpful form to get you started. You can also print out and keep a copy of your own immunization history. This form will be a great help to you and your doctor. Fill one out for your spouse or a friend as well.
Have you received your flu shot yet? Are you up to date on your pneumonia shot and other immunizations? Why not offer to take a loved one or neighbor for their flu and pneumonia shot?
As always, I welcome your questions and comments.
