Texans can call 2-1-1 or visit TEXAS 211 to find information on vaccine availability from local public health departments and other nearby non-profit organizations.

• When you get vaccinated, you help protect those around you at risk for severe illness and who may not be eligible to receive a flu vaccine
• Flu vaccine does not cause flu-like symptoms
• The flu shot protects in about two weeks.
• High-dose flu vaccine is available for individuals age 65 and older.  It contains four times as much antigen as the regular flu shot and affords seniors a greater antibody response
• No vaccine is 100% effective.  Although you may still get the flu after being vaccinated, you are less likely to have severe symptoms and complications from the illness

People are urged to follow standard illness-prevention steps:

• Wash hands frequently with soap and water or alcohol-based hand sanitizer;
• Cover coughs and sneezes;
• Stay home if sick
