Seasonal Flu Information
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends a yearly flu vaccine for everyone 6 months of age and older. This is the first and most important step in protecting against seasonal influenza.
How to Further Reduce Your Risk
In addition to getting a seasonal flu vaccine, if you have not already gotten vaccinated, take these everyday preventive actions:
- Stay away from sick people.
- If you are sick with the flu, stay home from work or school to prevent spreading flu to others.
- Wash hands with soap and water for 20 seconds or use hand sanitizer frequently.
