Health officials in Sheboygan County are urging residents to get vaccinated.
Flu season is here, and cases are again beginning to rise. With that in mind, the Sheboygan County Division of Public Health has shared information on how to stay safe.
Every year, thousands of U.S. citizens suffer from influenza due to the contagious ailment spreading via coughing, sneezing, and close contact with those who are sick.
Simple practices such as washing your hands and avoiding touching your face, nose, mouth, and eyes can help prevent the spread.
However, the county’s Division of Public Health says the single best way to avoid getting the flu is to get your annual flu vaccination.
Those looking to get their yearly shot can do so through their health provider, local pharmacies, and other clinics.
