    Quality Managment Services wants to help you Fight the Flu!

    The CDC has three recommended steps to fight the flu this season:

    1. Get vaccinated!

    ·         Check your local Doctors office or pharmacy for flu vaccine availability and times.

    ·         Find a Flu Shot in Contra Costa   County

    ·         http://cchealth.org/topics/flu/vaccination.php  

    1. Take measures everyday to prevent the flu:

    ·         Cover your cough!

    ·         Wash your hands often.

    ·         Stay home if you are sick.

    1. Take antiviral medication if you do get the flu if your Doctor prescribes them. 

    ·         Flu-like symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. Some people may also have vomiting and diarrhea. People may be infected with the flu, and have respiratory symptoms without a fever.

    ·         It’s very important that antiviral drugs be used early (within the first 2 days of symptoms) to treat people who are very sick (such as those who are hospitalized) or people who are sick with flu symptoms and who are at increased risk of severe flu illness, such as pregnant women, young children, people 65 and older and people with certain chronic health conditions.
