SACRAMENTO – The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) urges Californians to get vaccinated against the flu because it’s the best way to prevent serious illness and reduce the spread to others.
“Do your part to protect yourselves and your loved ones by getting vaccinated,” said Dr. Tomás J. Aragón, CDPH Director and State Public Health Officer. "Flu vaccinations keep people out of the hospital, keeping our healthcare system open to help with other illnesses during the winter.”
