Flu Advisory - 2019

Page 10: FLYER NEWS HOMEROOM HEADLINES March 4 - March 8, …...FLYER NEWS HOMEROOM HEADLINES March 4 - March 8, 2019 Good morning FHS! F HS Dr a ma Co mp a n y to o k fi r s t p l a c e a

Rates of flu-like illness rose in Massachusetts in the past seven days, according to

the latest weekly Massachusetts Department of Public Health flu report. Flu viruses are thought to spread mainly from person to person through coughs

and sneezes of infected people. Less often, a person also might get the flu by

touching a surface or object that has flu virus on it and then touching their own

mouth, eyes, or nose. People of all ages get sick with flu. School-aged children are

a group with a high rate of flu illness.

Flu-like symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body

aches, headache, chills and fatigue. Some people, especially children, may have

vomiting and diarrhea. People may also be infected with flu and have respiratory

symptoms without a fever.

The good news is that it is not too late to protect yourself and your family from

the flu by getting a flu shot. There is still plenty of flu vaccine available in

communities across Massachusetts. Call your health care provider to schedule a

visit for a flu shot, visit a local pharmacy, or search for flu vaccination locations at

https://vaccinefinder.org/. Here are several recommendations to protect your children and family members

from the flu:

Take time to get a flu vaccine.

Have a great week!
