Flu prevention refers to the strategies and measures taken to reduce the risk of contracting or spreading influenza, a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses. Effective flu prevention includes vaccination, which is the most effective way to avert illness; practicing good hygiene such as frequent handwashing; avoiding close contact with sick individuals; covering coughs and sneezes; and staying home when feeling unwell.
