Beating the flu starts with you
Here's how to keep yourself healthy and safe this fall
While the flu and COVID-19 have similar symptoms, there’s one major difference: The flu vaccine significantly decreases your chance of contracting the flu and lessens the severity of symptoms if you do contract a strain.
Get your flu shot
You can get yours through your PCP or at an in-network pharmacy to avoid copays. Find a pharmacy at ibxmedicare.com/pharmacyfinder or call the number on your ID card.
Other safety tips:
- Wash your hands frequently and avoid touching your face
- Sneeze into a tissue or your elbow
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick
- Stay home if you are sick
If you develop flu symptoms, contact your doctor. It’s best to get antiviral treatment as early as possible.
