H1N1 ("Swine") Flu
H1N1 ("Swine") flu is a new strain of influenza (the “flu”), and it’s different than the seasonal flu. But, like the seasonal flu, people with asthma are at a greater risk of getting this severe strain, so click on the link below to learn about what you need to know to prevent and prepare. (Note: the H1N1 flu shot will not protect you from the seasonal flu; you should get both flu shots.)
Seasonal Flu
Every year the seasonal flu is responsible for causing complications for people with asthma. Getting seasonal flu shot each year is a very effective way to reduce your chances of dealing with complications due to flu symptoms. (Note: the seasonal flu shot will not protect you from the H1N1 flu; you should get both flu shots.)
Flu Shot Finder
Enter your zip code in the box on the right to find a flu shot clinic in your area. Ask each clinic about what types of flu shots they offer. Not all types of flu shots are offered by every clinic.
