Protection At Your Fingertips - Frequent handwashing with soap and water is one of the simplest and most effective ways to prevent the spread of cold and flu viruses. Also, don’t forget to sanitize high-touch surfaces like phones, doorknobs, and keyboards.

Boost Your Defenses - Getting your flu shot early in the season gives your body time to build immunity before flu activity spikes. Flu vaccines are available at most local pharmacies, urgent care clinics, or through your primary care provider.

Forecast Your Wellness - Drops in temperature, low humidity, windy conditions, precipitation, and poor air quality can contribute to the spread of respiratory viruses. Weather patterns often signal when flu season is about to intensify- stay informed with flu forecasts and local weather updates.

Know The Numbers, Know The Risk - Monitoring flu case trends in your state and comparing them year-over-year can help you understand when and where risk is highest.
