Flu Facts

Every year, an average of 200,000 people are hospitalized from flu complications. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an annual seasonal flu vaccine (flu shot) is the best way to reduce the chances that you will get seasonal flu and spread it to others. A flu shot can help prevent the discomfort, inconvenience and potential medical complications associated with influenza. Stop by the VNA and get your annual flu shot!

The following Influenza Prevention Tips will help to protect yourself and others from influenza:

• Frequently wash your hands with soap and water.
• Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze and throw tissue away immediately.
• Avoid touching your nose, mouth and eyes. Germs spread this way.
• Take time to get the seasonal influenza vaccine!
• Eat well and get enough rest. Avoid getting "run down" which can lower your immunity to illness.
• Try to avoid close contact with sick people.
