Shield yourself and your family from the flu with an annual flu shot!
The flu is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses that infect the nose, throat, and lungs. Although the exact timing and duration of influenza (flu) outbreaks vary from year to year, most flu activity peaks between December and February, but can last until as late as May.
The flu can be mild or severe and may result in serious complications and even hospitalization and death. Young children, pregnant women, adults 65 years of age and older, and people with certain health conditions, such as asthma, diabetes, or heart and lung disease, are at high risk of serious flu complications.
Flu symptoms include cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills, and fatigue. High fever is common, but respiratory symptoms can sometimes be present without a fever.
Prevention: The flu vaccine (flu shot) is the first line of defense.
