So far this flu season, 74 people have been hospitalized with influenza and one has died.
That’s just a small representation of the number of people who have had the flu.
To protect yourself, the Centers for Disease Control recommends a flu vaccine for everyone 6 months and older. Also:
- Wash your hands often.
- Sanitize surfaces often.
- Stay home when you’re sick.
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
