Flu Shots Are Now Available At Neighborhood Essentia Clinics
About a month ago my daughter and I talked about getting our annual flu shots, something we do together every year. Then, we both got colds so the idea was put on hold. Now that we're both healthy again I set out to see where we could go. I found that Essentia Clinics is offering the flu shots at multiple clinics across the Northland.
In the past I've gotten my flu shot at Walgreen’s, once on the Duluth side, once in Superior. You can also utilize Shopko or Cub's Pharmacy among others. But if you wish to visit a clinic, Essentia is now ready to accommodate.

The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends a flu shot for anyone 6 months and older.
What are the symptoms of flu?
As simple as it seems, the word “flu” is frequently misused to describe stomach upset or other general ailments. “Flu” or influenza is a viral respiratory illness. Symptoms can include fever, body aches and a dry cough. For some individuals, especially the elderly and the very young, the flu can be life-threatening.
