The DeKalb County Health Department announces the start of the flu prevention season, and reminds everyone that the “Flu ends with U.” According to public health administrator Jane Lux, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends an annual flu vaccination for everyone six months and older as the single best way to protect against influenza.

“Everyone, every year, should get a flu shot to help protect themselves and their families,” Lux said.

The goal of the prevention campaign is to reduce influenza outbreaks through increased vaccinations and increased awareness of the 3 Cs.
