Two-hundred thousand individuals are hospitalized each year from this season’s flu virus, and the season for flu is quick drawing nearer.

There’s a regular thing that could pass on the infection.

“When the flu will actually circulate we wont know until its really here and that varies every year to when we really first start seeing it,” said Carol Bess with Bellin’s disease aversion team. Bess said getting inoculated is the most ideal approach to ensure they don’t get this season’s flu virus.

They asked individuals along the Fox River Trail in Green Bay in the event that they get this season’s flu virus shot and most said they, or others in their family, do.

“I do get the flu shot,” said Day Whitlow.

“I have not gotten the flu shot for many years now but my wife and my kids do get the flu shots,” said Vilum Gupta.

“I do get the flu shot,” said Joe Randall. “I dont know if it helps.”

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says this season’s flu virus shot helps. While the current year’s strain is less viable than year’s past, the CDC says it brings down an individual’s danger of getting seasonal influenza by 40% to 60 %.

“The transmission of flu is usually from someone coughing or sneezing and those tiny particles get into your nose or mouth,” said Bess.

One surface not to be overlook, is the one they put legitimately up to their face.

“Cell phones carry a lot of bacteria so we do want to clean them frequently,” said Bess.

So they asked people how often do everyone clean their cell phone?

“Not as much as I should and I know that carries germs,” said Whitlow.

“Maybe once a week,” said Randall.

Bess prescribes individuals additionally wash their hands all the more as often as possible this season and remain at home in the event that they’re wiped out.

“And try not to touch your nose and mouth as much,” said Bess.

The CDC says the flu immunizations are refreshed to all the more likely match infections expected to flow in the U.S this year.
