Keep your family safe and healthy with easy everyday habits, like covering coughs and sneezes, washing hands frequently, and staying home when sick to prevent spreading germs. In addition to these habits, San Mateo County Health recommends a flu vaccine for everyone 6 months and older. Flu shots are safe, effective, lower the chance of serious illness, and reduce community spread. This helps keep schools, childcare centers, and workplaces healthier for everybody.
