Lessening your chances of getting the flu is as simple as getting a flu vaccination.
Dr. Paulo Aranas, a board-certified family medicine physician with Morris Hospital and Healthcare Centers says:
Even in this age of pandemic precautions, you can still catch the flu.
You may forget to wear your mask or you may forget and shake hands with someone who has the flu.
Dr. Aranas says your Doctor’s office or any health clinic or hospital is a good place to get a flu vaccination. They are highly sanitized and precautions there are in place to safely get your shot.
