Focus on Flu

by Michael Smith, MD, chief medical editor of WebMD Health.

As fall rolls around each year, you probably don’t think much about the flu until the fever, muscle aches, and fatigue wipe you out for a week. But this year is different.

That’s why WebMD is collaborating with the CDC to bring the latest flu developments right to you.

Nervous about the flu vaccine? Wondering if you should get the swine flu vaccine? Do you need antiviral drugs if you think you have the flu? How can you help prevent spread of pandemic H1N1 (swine) flu?

WebMD and CDC experts are here to ease your mind and answer your questions about swine flu and seasonal flu.

Along with myself, WebMD experts Rod Moser and Dr. Matthew Hoffman and CDC expert Dr. Anthony Fiore will be answering questions and sharing the latest information.

We want to hear from you. No matter the question, we want to know what’s on your mind. We’ll do our best to help you and your family stay safe this unusual flu season.
