The state still has lots of flu vaccine for kids and teens.
For help finding an immunization clinic in your area, call the Family Health Hotline at 1-800-322-2588.
Flu season unusually peaks between January and March, state health officials say, so it's not too late to get a shot.
Annual flu shots are recommended for all children between 6 months and 18 years. Last year, two children died from the flu in the state.
It's especially important for families with babies under 6 months to get vaccinated so they don't spread the flu to babies too young for the shot.
Clinics charge a nominal fee to administer the shot while the vaccine is free.
