An Anchorage Urgent Care Medical Clinic Can Prep You for Flu Season


To elaborate, Alaska reported 562 flu cases in December 2013 and 472 in January 2014, then 131 and 115 for May and June, respectively. As of September 8, 2014, no additional flu cases have been reported, although this could change in the near future when flu season begins again in earnest. Vaccines are available at local health providers and facilities, such as the Anchorage urgent care medical clinic operated by Primary Care Associates. The only thing people have to worry about is getting the right vaccine for them before everyone starts getting the flu. So, which type of vaccine is right for you? People aged 65 years old and above are better off with a high-dose flu shot, which was introduced in 2010 to address the perceived ineffectiveness of standard-dose shots to this age group. People who are allergic to eggs can opt for a Flucelvax shot specifically designed to work with their condition.
