As a handful of flu reports begin to emerge in the state, Wyoming Department of Health (WDH) officials are urging residents to get an annual flu vaccination. Kim Deti with the Wyoming Department of Health reminds the public that flu season has officially begun.
Deti says that last year's flu season proved how important getting the vaccine is.
Everyone who is six months or older should get an annual flu vaccine to help stop the spread of the virus. Influenza vaccines are available in many locations, including local public health offices, workplaces, doctors’ offices and retail stores. Basic common-sense measures can also slow the spread of influenza such as covering your mouth and nose with your sleeve or a tissue when you sneeze and cough, frequently washing your hands, and staying home from work, school, day care and errands when you are ill.
