The peak season for the flu runs from September through April. The fact is you can actually get the flu anytime of year, but the colder weather affects our immune systems and we also spend more time together indoors. Also children, the primary transmitters of the flu, are back in school and in close quarters with their classmates.
The best protection is to get the flu shot. Also, frequent hand washing and avoiding people who are coughing and sneezing is a good way to stay healthy.
The Centers for Disease Control recommends that children over 6 months of age get the flu shot. Also, adults over 65 are a high risk group because the flu can bring with it serious complications.
