Why should you get your flu shot?

“I have two young children and want to keep them healthy, and I want to protect the immunocompromised people in my family.”

— Jill Miguez, FNP, CNM, MSN, MSPH, nurse practitioner

 “Getting the flu shot is a proactive step in safeguarding your health and contributing to public health efforts.”

— Stephanie Banford, RN, BSN, CEN, employee health nurse manager

“I have worked with elderly patients with chronic health conditions for my entire career of over 27 years, and it’s just one way I can help protect my clients.”

— Ryan Mackey, RN, BSN, clinical nurse
