The flu season is already here! Keep your family healthy by getting your flu shots as soon as they are available near you.

Quick Fact: 
Washing your hands is the best way to prevent the spread of the flu. If you have young children, teach them to rub their hands and fingers with soapy water while singing Happy Birthday to You -- twice. Once isn’t enough time to get all the germs off!
