Even with this year’s flu shot, you still have a chance to catch the flu. The Public Health Agency of Canada says this year’s shot is slightly off as the H3N2 influenza, which is the dominant strain do far this year, seems to have changed from what the vaccine was developed for. You can help yourself and your family avoid getting the flu by following some basic hygiene practices: Clean hands frequently; cough and sneeze into your arm, not your hand. If you use a tissue, dispose of it as soon as possible and wash your hands. Get more suggestions at our website moosefm.com.
