As the weather cools down and the holidays approach, so does flu season. The flu can spread quickly in workplaces, schools, and households, making preparation an important part of protecting your health and the health of those around you.

Common Flu Symptoms to Watch For

The flu often comes on suddenly. Keep an eye out for:

  • Fever or chills
  • Cough and sore throat
  • Runny or stuffy nose
  • Muscle or body aches
  • Fatigue
  • Headaches

Some people may also experience vomiting or diarrhea, though this is more common in children.

If you’re unsure whether your symptoms point to the flu, a cold, or another condition, LASO Connect can be a convenient first step.

  • Discuss your symptoms and determine whether they could be flu-related
  • Learn the best ways to manage your symptoms at home

Because the flu can sometimes lead to complications, it’s especially important to reach out if you have underlying health conditions, are at higher risk, or if your symptoms worsen.

Staying Healthy This Season

Along with vaccination, you can take simple steps to reduce your risk:

  • Wash your hands regularly with soap and water
  • Avoid close contact with people who are sick
