Time for Change - 8 Fall Tips
Autumn marks the beginning of flu season. Experts say the best way to protect against the flu is to get a flu vaccine every fall. The US Department of Health and Human Services recommends everyone 6 months and older receive the flu vaccine. Flu symptoms include high fever, headache, fatigue, muscle aches, sore throat, dry cough, runny nose, and stomach problems like vomiting and diarrhea.
