According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), getting a flu vaccine is more important than ever during 2020-2021 to protect yourself, your family, and your community from the flu.  A flu vaccine this season can also help reduce the burden on our healthcare system responding to the COVID-19 pandemic and save medical resources for the care of COVID-19 patients.

How to Prevent the Flu

CDC recommends taking everyday preventative actions to stop the spread of germs.

1. Get the flu vaccine.

2. Take everyday preventative actions that are always recommended to reduce the spread of the flu. Avoid close contact with people who are sick.  If you are sick, limit contact with others as much as possible to keep from infecting them.

3. Cover coughs and sneezes.

4. Wash your hands often with soap and water.  If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand rub.

5. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.  Germs spread this way.

6. Clean and disinfect surfaces and objects that may be contaminated with viruses that cause the flu.

7. Take flu antiviral drugs if your doctor prescribes them.

Flu Symptoms

Flu symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills, and fatigue.  Some people also may have vomiting and diarrhea.  People may be infected with the flu and have respiratory symptoms without a fever.
