KEEP YOUR FAMILY
SAFE FROM THE FLU
Flu season is approaching, which means it's time to take
the proper precautions to protect your family from the
common-yet potentially deadly-viral infection.
The flu is very contagious, but some good habits can
help prevent the spread of germs, including washing your
hands, covering your cough or sneeze, staying home when
you are sick and avoiding close contact with others.
The flu vaccine is the best protection against the flu.
Everyone 6 months and older should receive a flu vaccination
every year, ideally before the end of October. For patients
