Australia has experienced its worst flu season in years, with 1,708 hospitalizations and 288 deaths related to the flu. Experts are worried that the United States may experience a similar fate as cases of the flu are already rising. To protect against the flu, it is important to know your risk, get vaccinated, and remain vigilant in preventing the spread of germs. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that Americans over the age of 6 months get a flu shot by the end of October. It is also important to continue practicing safety measures such as avoiding sick individuals, covering coughs and sneezes, and frequently washing hands to slow the spread of germs that cause the flu and COVID-19.
