October is Flu Vaccine Month at Schmitz Family Practice!

This October, we’re offering flu vaccines—your most reliable protection for yourself, your family, and our community. CDC data link vaccination to fewer hospitalizations in people with chronic lung disease and diabetes, fewer cardiac events in those with heart disease (especially after a recent heart attack), and fewer flu-related complications that can lead to hospitalization. Older adults are at highest risk: in 2023–24, adults 65+ accounted for 51% of hospitalizations and 68% of flu-related deaths, driven by age-related immune decline and more chronic conditions. Protect yourself this fall—call our office to schedule your flu shot today.
