Flu season is just about here, and now’s the time to protect yourself with a flu shot, doctors say.
“Every year about 40 million people in the United States get the flu. About 19 million people will have to see a doctor,” said Dr. Samuel Stanley Jr., an infectious disease specialist and president of Stony Brook University in Stony Brook, N.Y.
“Many millions of people will miss work, and a lot of students miss classes,” Stanley said in a university news release.
