“Paws” for Your Health
Why Is the Doctor Giving You a Flu Shot?
This is the time of year when it’s easy to get sick.
We spend more time indoors breathing the same air. Some types of sickness can spread through the air or from touching things. That makes this the right time to get your flu shot.
What’s the flu?
The flu can make you feel very sick with a high fever, aches and feeling tired.
Getting a flu shot can be scary. But getting one helps your body learn how to fight off the flu before you get sick. It’s like wearing a suit of armor to protect your body!
You may feel a little pinch in your arm when you get your flu shot, but it’s way better than getting sick and missing out on the fun.
When I feel scared, I just close my eyes and think of birthday parties. And sometimes I hold a grown-up’s hand.
Some doctors might be able to give you the flu medicine through a nose spray! Ask your doctor!
Come Say “Hi”!
I will be at different events around Maryland with Priority Partners. Check back here to find out where I will be next! Come say ‘Hi” and give me a high-five!
