Eating a healthy diet, making smart personal choices and taking supplements together can help reduce your chances of getting sick. However, only vaccines are designed to specifically target individual viruses – no diet or supplement can do that. So get vaccinated. Whether or not vaccines stop the spread of a virus is still hotly debated among the medical community. However, the CDC reports that the flu vaccine can reduce your chances of becoming ill and reduce the severity of symptoms, should you become ill. And Scientific American reports that multiple studies show the COVID-19 vaccine can at least slow the spread of the virus.
