Flu levels are rising in King County and so are emergency room visits related to flu. In this comic strip, Public Health employee, Rolando Avila, shares about what happened when one of his kids got vaccinated for flu and the other didn’t. As Rolando and his family found out, the flu shot can’t guarantee that you won’t get sick, but it can make it much more bearable and help you bounce back faster if you do.
