News reports say flu at epidemic level now and flu shot not very effective this year. got my shot in early oct. what else can i do to protect myself?

Hands off face!: There are several things you can do. The predominant strain this year spreads like wild fire. At the end of this season, we may see a record number of reported cases, unless people outsmart the process. In short, avoid places of gathering, keep your hands off your face, eat healthy, exercise, and give your immune system a boost with either sunlight or Vitamin D daily.
