Tips To Protect You And Your Family From The Flu
by Wendy McNamara
The flu spreads from close contact with infected people, objects and surfaces, and infections occur when the virus enters our bodies through the eyes, mouth or nose. Symptoms can include fever, chills, headache, cough and sore throat.
A flu shot is the best way to prevent getting sick. If you haven’t received one already, you can find the nearest available clinic by clicking here. In addition to the vaccine, you can help prevent the spread of the flu by covering every cough and sneeze, washing your hands regularly and avoiding large crowds and public transportation when possible.
