Health Officials Say Get A Flu Shot

Health officials are still urging people to get a flu shot, even though a Centers for Disease Control report last week indicate the vaccine is less effective this year because of a mutated virus that doesn’t match the strains included in the vaccine.  The Hood River County Health Department’s Ellen Larsen says it is still a good idea to get a flu shot, noting during some flu seasons the primary strain will change.  Larsen notes flu shots remain available from health care providers and pharamcies.  She adds the Hood River County Health Department does have flu vaccine available for those who are uninsured.
