Every year, an estimated 17 million to 50 million cases of influenza are reported nationwide. The most common method of contracting colds and the flu is by direct contact with an infected person or a contaminated surface.

 

Your two most effective weapons against the flu are vaccination and proper hand hygiene.

 

Wash your hands with hand soap or use instant hand sanitizer often, especially when you are in public places. Be extra careful from December to March, which is the typical flu season, depending upon your location. Also, encourage your children and family members to wash their hands and use hand sanitizer.
