The best way to prevent the flu is to get a flu shot each fall prior to the flu season.
Farragut On Site Medical Services is available to visit your company to provide flu or other vaccine clinics (eg. Hepatitis B) at your convenience. The on-site flu immunization program is a very popular employee benefit that can reduce absenteeism and medical costs as well as increase productivity. Since the program is extensively used by many companies and hotels in the area and requires scheduling, please call in early Spring for available times and dates beginning in October.

ON-SITE FLU SHOT PROGRAM
Flu Season is coming!
About Influenza (flu)
The flu is a disease of the breathing passages caused by the influenza virus. It affects people of all ages.
The virus is spread through the air, and is as contagious as the common cold.
It can he spread by anyone who already has the flu, as well as by people who have been exposed but haven't yet developed symptoms.
This means you can be exposed and not even know it.
The flu is also much more serious than a cold.
Symptoms can be severe, including body aches, exhaustion, high fever, respiratory inflammation, congestion, cough and much more.
You can be knocked out of commission for a week or more, with some symptoms lingering up to a month.
