Georgia Health Insurance Broker McCart Insurance Discusses the 2012 Flu Season

    NORCROSS, GA, November 29, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Georgia health insurance broker McCart Insurance would like to discuss the 2012 flu season, and how you can stay well this year.

The flu is a very serious and potentially fatal disease and it is everyone's responsibility to do their best to stay well or, if infected, get better and avoid spreading it to others.

One of the most important ways to keep the flu away is to sanitize your hands frequently, and especially before eating and after touching objects that come into contact with many people (like public door handles, etc.). You should also be particularly mindful of general wellness practices during flu season, such as getting the right nutrition, plenty of fluids, enough rest, and staying warm. And, of course, anyone over the age of 6 months should get a flu vaccination.

If you believe you might have contracted the flu, the first thing to do is call your doctor. You should avoid leaving your home for any reason, except to see your doctor, always cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze, and be even more diligent about hand washing.

"Though the flu season generally peaks in January or February, it can begin as early as October, so now is the time to think about protecting yourself and your family from influenza," explains Alicia McCart, CEO of McCart Insurance. "Stay clean, stay healthy, get the flu shot, and talk to your doctor the moment you suspect that you have got more than a cold on your hands."

Again, the first thing you should do if you believe you may have contracted the flu is to call your doctor. This can be difficult or impossible, however, for those who are uninsured. For this reason, another critical way to prepare yourself and your employees for wellness during flu season is being properly insured. McCart Insurance provides affordable Georgia health insurance that is as easy to use as it is affordable.
