Fight the Flu
Flu vaccines are now available for existing primary care patients. A yearly flu shot is the most important step in protecting you and your loved ones from getting the flu. Flu shots are recommended for all children over the age of 6 months and all adults. Team members will abide by all current CDC and Safe@Inova guidelines.
