Influenza varies depending on the year, but begins from November to December every year, and the number of patients increases between January and March of the following year. Prepare for infection by focusing on the following points.

Prevent influenza

2. Let's get a flu shot. The effect of vaccination begins to appear about two weeks after vaccination and is said to last for about five months.
3. Always wash your hands with gargle and soap when you return home or before eating.
4. Get a well-balanced diet and a good rest to relieve fatigue as soon as possible.
5. Avoid crowds and going out to downtown areas, and wear a mask when you go out.
6. Let's keep social distance.

If you have the flu

1. Replenish enough water (tea, juice, soup, etc.)
2. Visit a medical institution as soon as possible and take a break from school or workplace.
