Winter is coming, and it seems like it is going to be a rough one, so I want to decrease the risk of getting the flu. How can I do that?
With winter right around the corner, you are on the right path and should be preparing to decrease your risk of flu. Most importantly, the flu vaccine can lower your chance of getting the flu by 70-90%. Then throughout the winter months you have to use good handwashing to decrease risk of infection and the flu. You should never put your hands to your mouth and face without washing your hands first. Everyone should also make it a habit to sneeze into the top of the arm, to decrease the risk of transmission of infections, including the flu.
