What Is Type A Flu?
8. Prevention
There is a vaccine for the flu, and vulnerable people are recommended to get vaccinated. The flu is known for evolving rapidly, however, meaning that a booster jab may be required once every 1 or 2 years. In addition to vaccines, there are other steps we can take to help prevent the spread of the disease.
One of these steps is to regularly wash your hands with warm, soapy water. The soap is important because it helps to break down the thin fatty layer that otherwise helps to protect the virus and hold it together. It is also advised to cover your nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing.
