According to the news, the flu season has already started in Japan.Apparently, it's the second earliest start on record.At my son's kindergarten, we also got a notice saying that several children had come down with the flu.
By the way, I sometimes hear people say something that doesn't really match the evidence.First, some people say they got better right after taking antivirals. But actually, the evidence only shows about a one-day reduction in feverSecond, some people say they still got the flu even though they got a vaccine.Flu vaccines don't have strong evidence for preventing infection itself, but they do work when it comes to preventing severe illness.
Simple habits like washing your hands and gargling are important as basic precautions.So, take care of yourselves and stay safe this flu season.
