Having the flu is no fun. 🤒 While there is no foolproof method to avoiding the flu, following these steps will significantly reduce your risk this flu season:
◾ Get vaccinated: The flu vaccine is the single most effective way to prevent the flu. While it's not 100% effective, it significantly reduces your risk of getting sick and lessens the severity of illness if you do get it.
◾ Practice good hygiene: This is crucial in preventing the spread of the flu virus. Frequent handwashing, avoiding touching your face, covering coughs and sneezes, and cleaning and disinfecting surfaces go a long way.
◾ Maintain a healthy lifestyle: Get enough sleep, eat a balanced diet, manage stress, and stay hydrated.
◾ Avoid close contact with sick people.
◾ Stay home when you're sick.
