Description
The best way to reduce your chances of getting the flu or that you'll pass the flu to others is by getting a flu vaccination. The more people who have the vaccination, the fewer the people who can spread the flu. In fact the CDC recommends that everyone over the age of 6 months get the flu vaccine each year.
