It can cause mild to severe illness. The CDC (Center for Disease Control) recommends a yearly flu vaccine for everyone 6 months and older. Flu vaccination can reduce flu illness, doctors’ visits and missed work and school, as well as prevent flu-related hospitalizations. According to CDC and NIH (National Institute of Health) people 65 and older account for more than 60% of all reported hospitalizations and 90% of deaths related to the flu. Signs & Symptoms Fever* or feeling feverish/chills Cough Sore throat Runny or stuffy nose Muscle or body aches Headaches Vomiting or diarrhea, more common in children than adults. *It’s important to note that not everyone with the flu will have a fever! Flu Etiquette and Tips: Get your flu shot! Available at your doctor’s office, local pharmacy and health department. Sneeze or cough into your elbow, sleeve or a tissue - not your hand. If using a tissue, THROW it away after using it. A stored tissue will keep germs alive for 2 hours. Wash or sanitize your hands frequently - even though colds and flu are viral it is crucial to avoid getting sick. Stay away from work and social functions - think of all the people that you could infect & the loss of productivity that it could entail. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth - also excuse yourself from shaking hands if you’re sick or just getting over the flu. Clean & disinfect frequently touched surfaces at home, work or school - especially when someone is ill!
