The most effective way to prevent the flu is by getting a yearly flu shot!

Other than getting a flu vaccine, there are a few other ways you can protect yourself:

🔹 Wash your hands often with soap and water.
🔹 Try to avoid close contact with sick people.
🔹 Eat a healthy diet and drink plenty of water.

Haven't received your flu vaccine yet? No problem! Simply call your SouthCoast Health provider's office to schedule a vaccine appointment.

Across the United States, flu activity is actually low. However, in certain pockets across the country, there are influenza outbreaks that can bring a city to its knees one school and office building at a time.

I would like to compliment Braxton who drew my blood. I am a very hard stick due to small rolling veins and fibromyalgia. He was very professional and kind. He made sure that I was okay due my low patient threshold. One tech said just poor some blood into another vial to make sure that they have enough. He said no. He had the patience to try another vein and was very successful. In addition, he took the time to place a warm pack on the vein that blew that was turning blue. He knows his stuff and displays patient kindness and compassion. He needs to teach the entire staff how to treat senior citizens and all patients. He is AWESOME!

I’m so thankful I made the change to see Dr Poe. She wanted to really see the whole picture and asked so many questions. There was no rushing or just moving onto the next one. I highly recommend every part of Dr Poe and the SouthCoast team. It’s been a long time since I had an actual good time at the doctors.
