to get a flu shot
The annual flu vaccine is the first step
in protection from the flu. According
to the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention, this year’s vaccine (recommended for everyone over the age of six months) protects against
the three different flu viruses that are expected to be most common this season. And, if you’re one of the unlucky ones who gets a different strain, your illness will be milder and shorter. Not only will the flu vaccine protect you from the seasonal flu, but the latest thinking
is an extra prevention of heart attacks, as well.
Did you know: The flu vaccine is doing double duty—not only does it protect against the flu, a new study shows it also protects against heart attacks.

Did you know: Most germs are passed by touching infected surfaces like phones and faucets (where they can live for two hours or more), then touching your mouth, eyes, or nose.
