CDC Helping Fight the Flu


The 2015-2016 flu season has arrived. The flu virus is constantly changing so it is not uncommon for a new virus strand to appear each year. The CDC recommends that everyone 6 months of age and older receive a flu vaccine. It is best to be vaccinated before flu season, or as early as possible into the season, to ensure that as many people as possible are protected against the virus before flu season goes into full affect. While vaccination is the first step in prevention, the CDC has a few other helpful tips for fighting the flu this season:
  • Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze
  • Wash your hands often with soap and water.
  • Clean and disinfect surfaces and objects that may be contaminated with germs such as the flu.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. Germs spread this way.
Flu symptoms can include fever, cough, sore throat, nasal congestion, body aches, headaches, chills, and fatigue. In some cases, someone could also experience vomiting and diarrhea. If these symptoms occur, contact a medical professional. And if feeling flu-like symptoms, please be aware of spreading germs in the workplace.
