UH Ahuja Medical Center Wednesday Night Wellness Series What’s New with the Flu Wednesday, Sept. 9 at 6:00 pm It’s impossible to predict what flu season will be like each year, since timing, severity, and length will vary. But flu does affect elderly and those with high risk conditions in ways that tell us about how we age, and why vaccination each year is important. Please join Stefan Gravenstein, MD, to learn more about the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommendations about influenza, while also learning about aging. Dr. Gravenstein is the Director of the Center for Geriatric Medicine and the Interim Director of Geriatrics at University Hospitals Case Medical Center. He has a long-standing interest in immunity, inflammation and aging especially in the context of influenza and nursing home care, and his publications include influenza studies as well as on-going research. The CDC recommends an annual flu vaccine for everyone 6 months of age and older. In addition to getting a seasonal flu shot, you can take daily preventive actions like staying away from sick people and washing your hands to reduce the spread of germs. Remember, if you are ill with the flu, stay home from work or school to prevent spreading it to others. This event is free to the public in the Enid B. and David M. Rosenberg, MD Conference Suite at UH Ahuja Medical Center. To register, email AhujaWellnessProgram@UHhospitals.org or call 216.285.4069 and identify which location you would like to attend.
