About Influenza
Flu Season typically runs from fall through spring each year.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offers a FAQ web-page to inform you of what’s new with the flu.
Tips to prevent the flu:
- Avoid close contact with sick people
- Wash your hands often with soap and water, or alcohol-based hand rub
- Cover your nose and mouth when you sneeze or cough
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth as this can spread germs.
The best way to prevent the flu is with an annual flu shot.
