According to the Centers for Disease Control, getting a flu shot remains the best deterrent to contracting the flu. In addition, there are other ways to help avoid the flu:
·Wash hands often with soap and water
·Avoid touching eyes, nose or mouth. Germs on hands can easily spread this way.
·Avoid close contact with sick people.
If you are showing flu symptoms, seek medical care.
