October is the start of flu season

It's hard to believe, but October is the start of the flu season. It is recommended that everyone 6 months of age and older get a yearly flu vaccine. The timing of the flu is very unpredictable and can vary from season to season. Flu activity most commonly peaks in January and February; however, seasonal flu activity can begin as early as October and continue to occur as late as May. Try to avoid the flu by making sure you are washing your hands several times a day, and keeping your hands away from your mouth and eyes. The Doctors and Staff at Sondhi-Biggs Orthodontics follow universal precautions to help protect you from the possibility of getting the flu.
