The flu, it already hit our house a few weeks back and I was not prepared. The minute I realized that was why my youngest was feeling so low I went into action. As a busy family of five no one wants the flu to spread and Mom and Dad certainly don’t have time to waste laying in bed shaking with the chills or burning up with a fever. Life must go on!
Here’s how we combat the flu in our house.
Not sure if it is the flu or a cold? Here are the flu symptoms and what to do if you or a family member gets sick.
While it has already happened in our house, only one person got sick. I was so busy washing my hands, keeping everyone else away and wiping down everything she touched that I think we were saved.
Next, WE ALL GET THE FLU VACCINE. We are heading to MinuteClinic this flu season as a family to get everyone done at once. Did you know that Health Insurance Plans, including Medicare Part B, cover the flu shot fully? You’ll also get a 20% off CVS/pharmacy Shopping Pass when it is all done (Not available in MA, RI, PA or NY).
Don’t let the flu get you down this season. You can stop it from entering your house or lessen the symptoms. Join me (@VictoriaEMason), @MinuteClinic & @CDCFlu on 10/15 from 1-2 PM to share your tips for a healthy flu season! #NoTimeforFlu RSVP here.
