Do enough exercise to keep strong.

Taking enough exercise can keep the immune system working better.     4    . For example, you may catch viruses more easily.

Get the flu jabs (疫苗) in time.

To keep away from the flu, having flu jabs is necessary and important. “It’s true that the jab can’t protect us against all kinds of flu, but it can save lives. I’m sure to have one every year,” says Dr. Walton.
