Influenza

Fight the Flu

Influenza (flu) activity has been increasing in the U.S. and in Oregon, and a new strain of influenza that circulated in the southern hemisphere in the summer of 2014 has been detected in the U.S.

Preventing influenza involves three main strategies:

  1. Washing your hands and staying home when you are sick;
     
  2. Flu vaccination for everyone over 6 months of age; and 
     
  3. Early use of antivirals for persons at risk of complications.
