Like every winter, the flu makes its return to the national territory.
In Corsica, the epidemic has intensified in recent weeks, affecting many people, including the most vulnerable.
The Regional Health Agency (ARS) of Corsica therefore calls for vigilance, recalling that“il “It is crucial to act now to reduce contamination and prevent complications, particularly among the elderly, pregnant women and those with chronic illnesses.”
Vaccination: an essential safeguard
Flu vaccination, according to the ARS, remains the most effective way to protect yourself. Medical authorities therefore advise the population to be vaccinated. Health professionals, such as doctors, pharmacists or midwives, therefore remain mobilized to administer the vaccine, which is particularly recommended for populations at risk.
-Good actions to take care of yourself
In the event of flu symptoms (fever, fatigue, body aches, cough), the ARS recommends “to consult a health professional, avoid self-medication and favor teleconsultation. But also “to rest well, to hydrate well and to respect barrier gestures“.
People at risk or those whose condition worsens should consult a doctor without delay.
