Suffering from a cough, stuffy nose, and sore throat? Is it a common cold or the Flu?

Since a cold and the flu are both viral infections that affect your respiratory system, symptoms can be similar. However, where the two differ is in the severity of their symptoms and how long they last.

You can usually expect to recover from your cold after a week, but a flu lasts for approximately 10 days.

Who is most at risk?
Who is most at risk?
Everyone can get the flu, including healthy adults. In fact, every year, 5-20% of these adults will catch the virus.
However, some people are at higher risk of flu related complications:
• People over 75+ years old
• Children under 2 years
• Pregnant Women
• Residents of long-time care facilities
• People with chronic diseases such as diabetes
WHY SHOULD I GET A FLU SHOT?
WHY SHOULD I GET A FLU SHOT?
Here are 4 reasons why:
1. The Flu is much more serious than the common cold and can lead to health complications.
2. The Flu virus changes every year and so does the vaccine. For the best protection during the current Flu season, you should get vaccinated every year.
3. Not everyone is well equipped to overcome the flu. Avoid spreading the Flu to your loved ones with a flu shot.
4. It’s easy! Just visit your local pharmacy.
