The flu isn’t just a bad cold. It’s a serious respiratory illness that can cause severe complications, including pneumonia and the need for hospitalisation. The influenza virus spreads easily through droplets in the air when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks, making crowded places high-risk areas.
The most effective way to protect yourself and your loved ones is by getting a flu jab. The annual flu vaccine trains your immune system to recognise and fight off the virus. Even if you do catch the flu, vaccination can greatly lessen the severity of symptoms and reduce the length of the illness.
Apart from the jab, simple daily habits can have a big impact. Regular handwashing, covering your mouth when you cough or sneeze, and avoiding touching your face can help prevent germ spread.
