Health reminder - protect from the flu now
From November to March, the influenza virus will apread and infect individuals and families across the northern hemispheres. The FLU is a very contagious virus and an infected person can spread it even before he or she feels sick, and even after the symptoms begin.
To best protect you and your families, the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention releases annual guidelines for dealing with influenza. The best protection? VACCINATION.
October is the optimal month for scheduling flu shots. In a few weeks, clinics, doctor’s offices, pharmacies and grocery chains will begin offering flu shots. Ask your doctor or pharmacist now to get the earliest protection.
