Don’t let this year’s flu season catch you by surprise.
Experts say an annual flu shot is the best way to avoid the aches, fever, congestion and fatigue that flu brings — and to protect those who are at high risk for flu-related complications.
“Every year, people die from influenza,” said Cindy Weston, an assistant professor of nursing at Texas A&M University. “After sizable outbreaks, people will respond with large amounts of vaccinations, but they should be getting vaccinated every year to protect those most vulnerable, mainly children and the elderly.”
