🔔 Important for Dialysis Patients & Caregivers!
People with ESRD (End-Stage Renal Disease) are at higher risk for serious complications from the flu due to a weakened immune system. Getting your annual flu vaccine is one of the best ways to protect your health during flu season. 💪💉
🌟 Why it matters:
• Flu can lead to severe illness, hospitalization, or pneumonia in kidney patients.
• Dialysis patients have altered immune response and are more vulnerable to vaccine-preventable diseases.
📍 Talk with your healthcare team about the vaccine that’s right for you — and get vaccinated early in the season!
✅ Covered by Medicare
📊 Resources & tools are available to help facilities improve vaccination rates. HSAG
