Reports indicate the H1N1 virus continues to circulate and has caused serious infection, especially to those with underlying medical conditions. The vaccine not only protects you but it helps protect the people around you. If you get the flu, you can pass it to others including babies, pregnant women, and people with chronic health conditions who are more likely to suffer serious complications.
Following the 3 C’s will also keep you healthy so remember to cover a cough with tissue or sleeve, clean hands with warm soap and water, and contain the virus by staying home when ill. Get answers to your flu questions at www.mcdh.info or 815-334-4510.
