What Is Flu?

The flu, or influenza, is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses. It can affect anyone and ranges from mild to severe, potentially leading to serious complications, especially in vulnerable populations. Protecting yourself from the flu isn’t just about staying healthy—it’s also about preventing the spread of the virus to others.

Protecting Yourself

Most importantly, the flu shot helps protect you from getting sick with the flu. The flu can make you very sick with high fever, cough, and body aches. Sometimes, it can even be dangerous, landing people in the hospital.

Protecting Others

The flu can be especially tough on some people, especially the very young, the elderly, pregnant women, and those with health problems. By getting the flu shot, you’re looking out for yourself and helping protect these vulnerable groups.

Stopping the Spread

The flu is very contagious. When you’re sick with the flu, you can spread it to others by coughing or sneezing. Even if you feel okay, you might still carry the flu virus. Getting the flu shot lowers your chances of catching the virus and passing it to your friends and family.

Staying Updated

The flu virus changes annually, requiring a new flu shot each year to match the specific flu types and keep you safe and healthy.

So, don’t forget to get your flu shot during flu season. It’s not just about you—it’s about protecting yourself, helping others, making things easier for hospitals, preventing the flu from spreading, and staying up to date with your defenses. Getting the flu shot is a wise and caring thing to do for your health and the health of your community.
