The area is seeing its usual uptick in flu symptoms at this time, and flu prevention has been a big part of battling the illness right now.
Among those helping with the treatment and prevention effort is the Family Health Center. Lindsey Beabout is with the F-H-C in Vincennes; she says overall, from start to finish, it may take a couple of weeks to completely get over the flu itself.
One piece of advice to remember is if you get the flu, make sure your fever has broken before heading back to your job. That is in major part to protect your co-workers from getting the flu virus themselves.
