How to Stay Healthy During Flu Season

It’s not too late to get your flu shot. Get a flu shot at your doctor’s office, pharmacy or from your Landmark provider (Landmark supplies are limited).

Take steps to help avoid the flu. Practice good health habits during flu season:

• Wash your hands frequently and avoid shaking hands
• Avoid people who are sick and wear a face mask when around someone sick, if possible
• Drink plenty of fluids, unless you have restrictions from your doctor
• Get enough sleep

Watch for flu symptoms and call Landmark (if applicable) or your primary care physician if you experience:

• High fever (above 102°F)
• More fatigue than usual
• Nausea, vomiting, or dizziness
• Productive cough (with mucus)
• Pain or pressure in the abdomen or chest
• Inability to urinate, or unusually dark urine

The sooner you start flu treatment, the more likely it will be effective.
