DRCS Health Hintsby Zara Khatchatrian

Flu SeasonIt’s that time of year again; flu

season is around the corner. Thetiming of flu is very unpredictableand can vary from season toseason. Most seasonal flu activitytypically occurs between Octoberand May. In the United States, theflu most commonly peaksbetween December and January.The CDC recommends a yearly fluvaccine for everyone 6 months ofage or older as the first and mostimportant step in protectingagainst this serious disease. Peopleshould begin getting vaccinatedideally by October to ensure thatas many people as possible areprotected before flu season begins.It takes about two weeks aftervaccination for antibodies todevelop in the body and provideprotection against the flu. Inaddition to getting the vaccine,you can take everyday preventativeactions like staying away from sickpeople and washing your hands toreduce the spread of germs. If youare sick with the flu, stay home to

prevent spreading the fluto others.

If you do get sick with the flu,antiviral drugs which areprescription drugs can be used totreat flu illness. Prompt treatmentwith antiviral drugs can preventserious flu complications. It canmean the difference betweenhaving a milder illness versus veryserious illness that could result ina hospital stay. Treatment withantivirals works best when begunwithin 48 hours of getting sick,but can still be beneficial whengiven later in the course of illness.

Flu Season Health Tips1. Keep your distance from

others to protect them fromgetting sick too.

2. To prevent spreadingillness, stay home.

3. Cover your mouth andnose with a tissue whencoughing or sneezing.
