Flu season is here!
Every year, somewhere between five and twenty percent of the U.S. population contract the flu. The flu can be transmitted by contact and airborne measures and is especially dangerous for young children, seniors and those with other chronic illnesses. While most seek treatment at an emergency room or urgent care clinic, by exposing their germs to others, they’re only causing further spread of the virus. Thankfully, DispatchHealth travels so the flu doesn’t. With a quick call, click or tap, the DispatchHealth Traveling Flu Crew will bring high-quality medical care to your home.

“A person that has caught the flu virus can infect others up to six feet away! Even scarier, adults can infect other people one day before their flu symptoms even develop and they realize they’re sick. This means that we should all be careful about spreading germs, whether we feel ill or not.“
