[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Influenza is often called “the flu” and is a virus that can affect millions of people each year. Recent news has reported multiple flu-related deaths. The medical staff at our Omaha or Bellevue Urgent Care Network locations recommend individuals always take influenza symptoms seriously and consult a medical provider. So when to be URGENT about the flu?
When to be Urgent about the Flu?
Symptoms
Symptoms often associated with influenza include fever, cough, sore throat, fatigue, and body aches. The virus can persist in an individual for ten days or more. Pregnant women, children and the elderly are at a higher risk of experiencing complications from the virus.
Can I Protect Myself?
Each year the Center for Disease Control (CDC) identifies the strains of influenza that they believe will be most-common during the next flu season. Once identified, the weakened strains of influenza are manufactured into a vaccine that becomes highly-effective in preventing individuals from contracting the flu virus. The CDC recommends all adults and children over the age of six months be vaccinated at the beginning of the flu season for maximum protection against the virus. Influenza season usually begins in early November and lasts until March, with peak infections occurring in January and February.
