Wintertime is here, and while it hasn’t reached subzero-degree temperatures nor has the snow begun to pile up, there’s still one thing to look out for: the flu. State health officials are urging Hoosiers to be prepared and take preventative steps, as influenza can be very dangerous.
State Health Commissioner Gregory Larkin said getting the flu vaccine is the best way to avoid the flu, and for those who don’t like shots, the vaccine is also available in a nasal spray. On top of that, individuals should practice frequent, thorough hand washing and avoid touching their eyes, nose, or mouth without washing their hands first.
