Influenza, also known as the flu, is a highly contagious disease that can be spread by coughing, sneezing, or everyday personal contact. Here are a few things to remember when it comes to the flu.

Symptoms of the flu include: fever, chills, cough, sore throat, headache, muscle aches, runny or stuffy nose, and fatigue.
Getting the flu vaccine prior to the peak of flu season can protect you from contracting the flu and prevents its spread to others.
The number one way to ensure you’re protected against the flu is by getting an annual influenza vaccine.
The Center for Disease Control (CDC) recommends that everyone over the age of 6 months get an annual flu vaccine.
The main advantage of early immunization is that it ensures you get the vaccine if the supply is limited and you are protected in case the flu season peaks early.
It takes the body about 2 weeks to form protective antibodies, so vaccination should occur before the traditional peak of the flu season.

Patients can schedule an appointment to receive the flu shot at any of White-Wilson’s Pediatrics, Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, and Immediate Care Clinics in Fort Walton Beach, Destin, or Niceville.
