5. They get a flu shot
Want to avoid colds and flu? Get a flu shot! It is the best thing to do. According to the CDC, getting a flu shot every single year is a surefire way to protect yourself against the flu. Dr. Miranda says that being up to date on all vaccines is equally important.
And although the flu shot is far from perfect, it is actually your best (and safest) bet. Yes, flu shots don’t protect against every single strain of a virus, but they help a lot. If you get sick, at least you’ll have mild symptoms if you get the shot.
So, don’t forget about your flu shot!
