Stay healthy this flu season
N
obody wants to catch
the u. But it can sweep
through a family. One
person gets sick, and before you
know it—coughs, fevers and sore
throats for all. And this isn’t the
worst of it.
e u can lead to pneumonia.
You might have to stay in the
hospital. Some people, such as kids
younger than 5 and adults older
than 50, have a high risk of serious
problems from the u.
e best way to keep from
catching the u is to get a u
shot every year. Talk to your
doctor about getting a u shot for
everyone in your family.
ese healthy habits can help
too:
Wash your hands often. Scrub
with soap and warm water for at
least 20 seconds.
Try to stay away from sick people.
Don’t touch your eyes, nose or
mouth.
Eat healthy foods.
Get plenty of exercise.
Get enough sleep.
The Alliance
