Influenza (flu) is caused by the influenza virus and is very contagious. It spreads from infected persons to the
nose or throat of others. You can protect yourself this season with a flu shot.
Several pharmacies, most notably Wal-Mart and Target, now offer many generic drugs at $4 for a one-month supply. In many cases you may be taking a brandname drug that is available as a lower cost generic equivalent.
