Why Get a Flu Vaccine?

Influenza, commonly called the flu, is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses. Symptoms can range from mild to severe, and in some cases can lead to hospitalization or serious complications.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that everyone 6 months of age and older receive an annual flu vaccine unless otherwise advised by their healthcare provider.

People at higher risk for serious flu complications include:

• Children younger than 5 years old
• Adults 65 and older
• Pregnant women
• Individuals with certain chronic health conditions

A yearly flu vaccine remains the most effective way to help prevent the flu and reduce the risk of severe illness.

Healthy Habits to Help Prevent the Flu

While vaccination is the best protection against seasonal flu, healthy habits can also help reduce the spread of respiratory illnesses.

Help Protect Yourself and Others By:

• Avoiding close contact with people who are sick
• Washing your hands frequently with soap and water
• Avoiding touching your eyes, nose and mouth
• Cleaning and disinfecting frequently touched surfaces
• Getting enough sleep
• Staying physically active
• Managing stress
• Drinking plenty of fluids
• Eating a healthy, balanced diet

Talk with your Warren Clinic provider for additional guidance on flu prevention and protecting your family during flu season.

What to Do If You Think You Have the Flu

People with mild flu symptoms can often recover at home but may still spread the virus to others.

If you think you have the flu:

• Stay home and rest
• Drink plenty of fluids
• Wash your hands frequently
• Cover coughs and sneezes

If symptoms worsen, do not improve, or if you belong to a high-risk group, contact your primary care provider or visit a Warren Clinic Urgent Care location for evaluation.

Is It the Flu or COVID-19?

The flu and COVID-19 are both contagious respiratory illnesses that can cause similar symptoms, including fever, cough, fatigue and body aches.

Because symptoms often overlap, it can be difficult to tell the difference without testing. If you are concerned about your symptoms, contact your healthcare provider for guidance.
