Influenza (flu): People who are 6 months and older should get the flu vaccine (flu shot). Get the vaccine each year because flu virus can change from one year to the next.

Lewis and Clark Expedition In February 1805, Sacagawea gave birth to a son named Jean Baptiste Charbonneau. Despite traveling with a newborn child during the trek, Sacagawea proved to be helpful in many ways.
The Lewis and Clark Expedition met Sacagawea at Fort Mandan. She was asked to join the Expedition because of her knowledge of the terrain and ability to speak different Native American languages.Sacagawea had just given birth to her son, Jean-Baptiste. His nickname was Little Pomp or Pompy.here are also mountains, lakes, and rivers named for her. In 2000, the United States Mint commemorated Sacagawea on the Golden Dollar coin. On the front of the coin is a picture of Sacagawea carrying Little Pomp. Sacagawea was a valuable member of the Lewis and Clark Expedition and a hero in our hearts.
