Pork Producers Urged to Get a Flu Shot

Randall Weiseman Livestock, Pork

There have been a lot of stories in the news about this year’s flu season and the Pork Checkoff notes it’s never too late to get a flu vaccination, and thus still recommends that producers, farm personnel and others who have contact with pigs get the seasonal flu vaccination as soon as possible to help protect human and pig health. And at the farm level, good building ventilation and good hygiene can help reduce transmission of flu viruses. The Pork Checkoff has information and resources about flu at www.pork.org/flu.
