Preparing for Flu Season: How to Stay Healthy
As the weather cools down, flu season makes its return. At Expedite Urgent Care, we want to help you and your family stay healthy and prepared. While the flu is common this time of year, there are plenty of ways to protect yourself and reduce your risk of getting sick.
How to Avoid Getting the Flu
- Wash Your Hands Often
Frequent handwashing with soap and water helps stop the spread of germs. - Cover Coughs and Sneezes
Use a tissue or your elbow to cover your mouth and nose to protect those around you. - Boost Your Immune System
Eating well, staying active, getting enough sleep, and managing stress all help your body fight off illness. - Avoid Close Contact When Sick
If you’re not feeling well, staying home can help prevent spreading germs to others.
What to Do if You Get Sick
Sometimes, even with the best prevention, the flu still strikes. That’s where Expedite Urgent Care can help.
- We offer on-site flu testing to quickly determine if you have the flu.
- Our providers can recommend the right treatment to ease your symptoms and help you recover faster.
Protect Yourself with a Flu Shot
The best protection against the flu is the annual flu vaccine. While Expedite Urgent Care focuses on treating urgent medical needs, our sister clinic right next door—Kailo Family Clinics—offers flu shots and preventive care.
Getting vaccinated not only helps protect you but also the people around you, especially young children, older adults, and those with chronic health conditions.
