Flu Season not over Yet
Even though the groundhog saw his shadow and the warm winds of spring
are teasing us while the winter weather takes a furlough, don’t let
your guard down just yet. The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention is warning people that this year's flu season could run
through late March or even April. If you haven’t been vaccinated
and still wish to be, there’s still time. Doctors say even
though the best time to get vaccinated is in the early fall before, a
few months before flu season is in full swing, a vaccination at this
point can still offer you some protection. The shot takes
about 2-4 weeks to begin protecting your body, so it may be useful to
consider given that we probably have not seen the last of winter just
yet.
