A member asked:
If the influenza virus is widespread in my area is it safe to go out and do normal things?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Influenza: You should be immunized yearly. If you have not done this, do it now. If you are in contact with people who may be ill, wash your hands frequently. You cannot be guaranteed not to become infected, but you can reduce the risk appreciably with common sense. Stay away from people obviously ill. Good luck.
