It hasn’t started yet.. but it will soon. Influenza typically lasts 5 days, with fevers, body aches, cough, abdominal upset, and misery. Young babies and older people are the most likely to have complications. Ask anyone who’s really had the flu– it is no fun.
Protect yourself against influenza by washing your hands, avoiding sick people, getting a good night’s sleep, and getting vaccinated. Immunizations against influenza are recommended for everyone from age 6 months and up, and can help protect your child, your family, and your community. If you haven’t been by yet this year, call soon to set up an appointment for influenza vaccines at our office for you and your children.
