If you’re getting your flu shot, there’s something you can do to boost it’s protection.

If you’re scheduling your flu shot, schedule something to do after you get it.

Go shopping, clean the house or go for a LONG walk. You’ll need a full 90 minutes of physical activity to get the full post-shot benefits.
