It's not too late to get a flu shot and remember … a flu shot means a moment of discomfort that could help you avoid days of serious illness.

You have several options to choose from:

• Make an appointment with your provider's office for an immunization.
• Check to see if your employer offers a vaccination program.
• Or, look into other community resources.
