The Center for Disease Control and Prevention has a site dedicated to influenza (flu) which houses a tremendous amount of information related to this potentially deadly disease. In the last couple years I've read two books that look back to the horrendous flu outbreak in 1918 that caused much suffering and death worldwide in the space of weeks. Although I have a lot of faith in the power and knowledge of "modern medicine," influenza is a disease worthy of respect and extremely careful monitoring.
If for no other reason, you should check out the Influenza Home Page of the CDC to get information to help you decide how best to protect yourself in the soon-to-arrive flu season.
