\"\"<\/p>\n

Do you all know the difference between catching a cold and flu different? Perhaps during this Covid-19 pandemic period, this might be a good important message for us all to understand about these sickness symptoms.<\/p>\n

Did you know that the World Health Organisation (WHO) estimates that flu kills\u00a0290,000 to 650,000 people<\/a>\u00a0each year?<\/p>\n

When you are having a running nose or stuffy nose, which isn’t too serious and you just can continue your daily work routine. That is catching a cold.

And how can you prevent this, according to the\u00a0Centers for Disease Control and Prevention\u00a0(CDC)<\/a>, getting the vaccine can prevent millions of influenza illnesses, tens of thousands of hospitalizations, and thousands of deaths? As the flu vaccine is updated yearly to account for virus mutations, it’s important that you get it annually, as this is the best way to help protect against flu. While the vaccine isn’t 100% effective (its effectiveness can vary), it does greatly reduce the risk of getting influenza, by\u00a0between 40% – 60%<\/a>.<\/div>\n
