There is a good chance that you will catch the flu this season if you don't prevent it. For many catching the flu is no more than a minor convenience however, for some it can be a life-threatening illness. Flu shots are the most effective way to avoid the flu, according to experts. Early fall is the best time to receive the shot but if you haven't already done it, any time during the winter is fine. A vaccine protects against the flu strains health experts believe will be most prevalent each season -- for example, the H1N1 "swine flu." Some vaccines target four flu strains -- they are called quadrivalents. There are also quadrivalent drugs that protect against four strains. Flu shots are available at Express Health Urgent Care.
