State Health Commissioner Dr. Jerome Adams says the new information prevention app "will put valuable information at Hoosiers' fingertips."

Flu season occurs annually, typically starting around October and continuing through May. The health department says seasonal flu viruses can vary from year to year, so it is important to get a flu vaccine every year.
