Here are some tips to stay healthy & strengthen your immune system during cold and flu season:

  • Get vaccinated Stay up to date on vaccinations to reduce the risk of illness. The annual flu vaccine can help prevent the flu and limit complications. RSV vaccination for individuals age 75 and above.

  • Home remedies

Try these remedies to help with cold and flu symptoms:
