Washing your hands is always a good idea, especially during flu season. Unfortunately, the flu can be transmitted thru the air as well. If someone sneezes or coughs near you, the....mist can be inhaled or land on your lips, eyeballs etc. and it's then easily transmitted.
In cancer clinics, many patients with weakened immune systems will wear protective masks and non patients that have symptoms will need to wear them or are not allowed in at all.
Science tells us that the flu shot is about 50% effective, so that might be considered moderate, but I'll take those odds.
Sure wash your hands, avoid crowded areas when possible and get a flu shot. Not just for you, but the general population as well. You will be reducing your chances of getting and transmitting the flu.
