Did you get your flu shot this year? You might think that having the flu (influenza) just means a bad cold or cough. But the truth is that flu can be serious and could cause unpredictable symptoms. It can disrupt your daily life and even be life-threatening,[1] which is why taking steps to help protect yourself, like getting your annual flu vaccine, is so important.

Anyone can catch the flu. Even if you’re healthy, you can still be infected by the virus. Additionally, some people — like older adults and those with certain health conditions like asthma and cardiovascular disease — are at a higher risk of developing serious flu-related complications if they get sick.[1] That’s why it’s crucial that you get a flu vaccine every year to help protect yourself and others against the virus and its potentially serious flu complications.

Influenza by the numbers

The 2024-2025 flu season was one of the most severe in almost a decade, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In fact, the CDC found that it was the first season in seven years to be classified as high severity.[2] Based on data from October 1, 2024 through May 17, 2025, CDC estimates there have been up to[3]:

• 82 million flu-related illnesses
• 1.3 million flu hospitalizations
• 130,000 flu deaths

Adults 65 years and older, pregnant people and those with certain chronic medical conditions of all ages are especially vulnerable to flu-related complications.[4] In addition, about 95% of patients hospitalized due to flu last season had at least one chronic condition.[5]

Know the signs and complications

Getting a flu vaccine may not prevent you from contracting the flu. However, it can help lessen the severity and duration of symptoms and help lower your risk of developing severe flu-related illnesses.

Flu symptoms include more than just a fever, chills and cough. In fact, even if you don’t have a fever, you may still have the virus. According to the CDC, other flu symptoms[1] include:

• Sore throat
• Runny or stuffy nose
• Muscle or body aches
• Headaches
• Fatigue
• Vomiting
• Diarrhea

If you get the flu, you may recover in a few days. However, some people may develop moderate to serious — even life-threatening — complications[1] like:

• Pneumonia
• Sinus and ear infections
• Inflammation of the heart, brain or muscle tissues
• Respiratory and kidney failure
• Sepsis

What you can do

The flu can be unpredictable, and the first and most important thing you can do to help lower your risk of getting the flu is to get vaccinated. Higher-dose flu vaccines are among those preferentially recommended for those over 65, according to the CDC and the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). Higher-dose flu vaccines contain more antigen (the part of the vaccine that helps your body build up protection against influenza viruses) than other standard dose adjuvanted flu vaccines, as they are potentially more effective than standard dose adjuvanted flu vaccines for your age group.[1]

In addition to scheduling your flu shot, you can take preventative daily actions to stop the spread of germs and reduce your risk of contracting the flu[6]:

• Wash your hands often with soap and water
• Carry alcohol-based hand sanitizer
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth
• Cover coughs and sneezes
• Limit your exposure to people who are sick
• Wipe down frequently touched surfaces

Don’t wait!

Flu season may have already started, but you can still get your flu shot to help protect yourself and others. Talk to your health care professional about your risk for flu-related complications and vaccination options and learn more about higher-dose flu vaccine options at SanofiFluShots.com.

(BPT) – The holidays aren’t just about the food — they’re about laughter, traditions and making special memories. Gatherings provide dedicated time with loved ones to share stories, play games, and enjoy delicious meals, creating long-lasting, treasured moments.

Whether you’re hosting a big family dinner or a cozy get-together with friends, Land O’Lakes^® Butter and Cheese can be your go-to for helping create delicious dishes and unforgettable experiences. With the help of Food Network champ, cookbook author and viral recipe creator Mackenzie Smith of @grilledcheesesocial, Land O’Lakes is sharing practical tips to bring people together during holiday gatherings and inspire home cooks and bakers to spend more time at the table:

1. Plan a Family Recipe Swap

Bringing a dish to a holiday gathering is more than just sharing food — it’s sharing a piece of yourself. Whether it’s a family recipe or a festive favorite, it can spark conversations and create connections around the table. As a fun twist, ask guests to bring a favorite holiday recipe card to exchange. This gives everyone a new dish to try next year and is a heartfelt way to share meaningful traditions.

2. Bake and Make Ahead So You Can Be More Present

Plan for more togetherness by prepping baked goods in advance. Make cookie dough or pie crusts early, freeze them, and pull them out when you’re ready to bake. Smith explains, “While I love being in the kitchen, this step makes it less of a chore and allows for more time for visiting with loved ones.” And instead of juggling multiple pots and pans, you can also roast veggies, proteins, and even stuffing on sheet pans. This saves you time and makes cleanup a breeze. Get inspired with more ideas by visiting landolakes.com.

3. Create a DIY Hot Cocoa and Coffee Bar

Set up a cozy welcome station with mugs, coffee, cocoa mix, whipped cream, marshmallows and fun toppings like crushed peppermint or caramel drizzle. Add a few festive extras like cinnamon sticks or flavored syrups for a gourmet touch.

4. Host a Butter Cookie Decorating Station

Turn dessert into a family tradition! Bake classic butter cookies ahead of time, then set up a simple decorating station with bowls of buttercream frosting, royal icing, sprinkles and candy toppers. “It’s interactive, fun and keeps kids of all ages laughing together and occupied,” Smith says. “And when it comes to buttercream frosting, Land O’Lakes^® Butter is the secret to that rich, creamy texture everyone loves.”

5. Set Up a Game or Story Corner

Create a collaborative space featuring classic board or card games, vintage photographs or holiday books for kids and adults alike. It’s another great way to promote face-to-face, social interaction that keeps the energy warm while you finish up in the kitchen. Set up a backdrop with gaming props and costumes for guests to capture memories.

6. Leave a Lasting Impression

Make your holiday gathering extra memorable by sending guests home with more than just leftovers! Let guests curate a simple takeaway gift before hitting the road. Smith suggests mason jars of homemade spice blends, sachets filled with festive scents, or rolls of compound butter made with Land O’Lakes^® Butter and herbs. Set out simple packaging like parchment paper, twine and gift tags so everyone can personalize their creations and bring home a little piece of the celebration.

The holidays move fast but remember to slow down and savor what matters most: good food and great company. With a little planning and a few creative ideas, you’ll spend less time stressing and more time laughing, sharing stories and making memories that last long after the season ends.

(BPT) – Winter has arrived, and with more people starting to gather indoors in close quarters, it’s important to remember that COVID-19 continues to pose a health risk – especially for older adults and those at high-risk for severe disease.^i,ii Recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that between October 1, 2024, and September 20, 2025, COVID-19 led to over 380,000 hospitalizations and 44,000 deaths in the United States.ⁱⁱⁱ

With more questions than ever this season, here’s what you need to know about staying up to date with your COVID-19 vaccination:

Is COVID-19 still a concern this winter?

Yes, COVID-19 hasn’t gone away, and hospitalizations have consistently risen during fall and winter months over the past four years.^iv Though COVID-19 maintains a year-round presence, cases rise as temperatures drop, people move activities inside, and holiday gatherings bring more people together.^iv,v

What are risk factors for severe COVID-19?

Age is one of the biggest risk factors.ⁱⁱ Those aged 65 and older account for over 70% of COVID-19-related hospitalizations.^vi Age-related weakening of the immune system makes it harder for older bodies to fight off infection, and the risk of severe illness increases with each additional underlying health condition you may have.^ii,vii

If you’re moderately or severely immunocompromised, whether due to medical conditions, such as chronic lung, liver, or kidney diseases, or are taking medication that suppresses your immune system, you’re also at increased risk for severe COVID-19 outcomes.ⁱⁱ

“Many people think COVID-19 is behind us, but it continues to cause serious illness, especially among those at high-risk, particularly the elderly and people with compromised immune systems,” said Dr. Onyema Ogbuagu, MBBCh, Professor of Medicine and Pharmacology at Yale School of Medicine.^ii,viii “COVID-19 vaccines are periodically updated to help provide protection as the COVID-19 virus evolves (or mutates), which is why staying informed about your risk factors and protection options is so important.”^ix

Can I get my flu and COVID-19 vaccines at the same time?

You may receive both vaccines during the same visit if you are eligible, as there’s no required waiting period between flu and COVID-19 vaccines.^x Getting both at once can help save a trip to the pharmacy and protect you against both respiratory illnesses simultaneously ahead of the winter season.^ix,x,xi

Do I need another vaccine if I got one last year? Am I eligible for an updated vaccination?

Immunity from previous vaccinations or infections decreases over time, and new variants continue to evolve, so an updated COVID-19 vaccine may be right for you.^ix,xii The CDC recommends that everyone speak with their healthcare providers about whether additional doses of the updated COVID-19 vaccine are appropriate for them, especially people 65 years and older and those who are moderately or severely immunocompromised.^ix,xiii

I’ve heard about Long COVID. What is it? Who is at risk?

Long COVID is a serious illness with a range of ongoing symptoms that can lead to chronic conditions.^xiv It can also affect anyone regardless of age or prior health status.^xiv Healthcare professionals estimate that approximately 29% of Americans who have had COVID-19 experience Long COVID.^xv This chronic condition can include symptoms such as fatigue, chest pain, and difficulty concentrating that may last for months or even years.^xvi

Older adults, immunocompromised individuals, and those who did not receive a COVID-19 vaccine who contract COVID-19 face an elevated risk of developing Long COVID.^xiv

How can I best protect myself?

Talk with your healthcare provider about your personal risk factors and what steps are right for you, including whether you’re up to date with vaccinations.

(BPT) – The holiday season is synonymous with joyful celebrations, viral gift guides and wish lists that seem to grow every year. With so much excitement, it’s easy for holiday spending to get out of hand. But with a little planning and helpful financial tools, gift givers can enjoy a season of giving without the guilt of overspending.

Try these three simple strategies for smarter, stress-free holiday spending, while prepping for the future:

Set your game plan (and your budget) early

Before holiday deals hit, consider outlining your financial goals using the Capital One Money & Life Program. The Money & Life Program offers free mentoring, digital tools and personalized tips to help your financial well-being, which could help you prioritize gift lists and set realistic spending limits.

Make your list and check it twice!

Double-checking your shopping list can make all the difference. Categorize gifts by priority and set a spending limit for each recipient.

It may be helpful to include a dedicated “holiday” savings bucket in your budget, allowing you to track your spending with confidence. Check out how a Capital One 360 Checking or 360 Performance Savings account with no fees or minimums could help you manage your money this holiday season.

Make your money work for you

This is an easy way to set aside money for next year’s festivities, or even a future vacation, while watching your savings grow.

(BPT) – Winter brings celebrations, travel and time with loved ones. It also brings seasonal risks that can cause safety issues and financial stress. Here are four common hazards to keep in mind, plus practical steps to reduce the chance of something impacting your winter fun.

1) Icy walkways, a risk to delivery drivers and guests

Holiday deliveries bring drivers to your porch and sidewalks, and hosting means even more foot traffic. If a visitor or delivery driver slips and gets hurt, you could be responsible for medical bills or legal costs. Homeowners’ policies include personal liability coverage designed to help with those expenses if you are legally liable.

For additional peace of mind, a personal umbrella policy provides even higher liability limits. This helps safeguard savings and future income against severe claims.

Do now: Shovel and treat high-traffic areas. Add handrails or traction mats on steps. Review whether your current liability limits are enough to cover your risk.

2) Online scams and personal cyber risk

Scammers thrive during the holidays. They take advantage of the hectic pace of the season by sending out fake shipping notices, phony charity solicitations and gift card cons. These scams are becoming more prevalent, impacting thousands of families every year and many people don’t know that insurance can help. Acuity’s Identity Fraud and Cyber Protection policy covers a broad range of potential cyber issues, keeping your finances safe from the fallout.

Do now: Enable multi-factor authentication on your accounts, use strong and unique passwords, and be cautious with links or urgent requests that come by text or email.

3) Icy roads and holiday crashes

Winter driving can be unpredictable, and snow, ice and holiday traffic all increase the risk of accidents. If you cause a crash, your auto liability coverage helps pay for injuries or property damage to others, while collision coverage can assist with repairs to your own vehicle.

Do now: Slow down, increase following distance, check tire tread and pressure, and plan ahead for safe rides if holiday celebrations include alcohol.

4) Curbside “cues” that invite theft

Leaving the box of a large TV or from an expensive brand by the curb can advertise new, high-value items inside. It’s a small detail, but burglars look for easy tells. Your homeowner’s policy protects personal property, but preventing a potential break-in is always better than dealing with one.

Do now: Break boxes down and bag them or take packaging directly to a recycling center.

A partner for winter and beyond

It’s important to choose an insurance company that will be there when you need it. Acuity Insurance provides clear coverage and a caring claim process. They give you a single point of contact, so you’re not bounced around explaining the same thing to multiple people before you get help. Their 97% positive claims experience rating is the result of a commitment to service that puts policyholders first.

Winter risks are seasonal, but choosing the right insurance provider delivers consistent protection all year.
