Dr. Joyce Brothers

Long-time Family Psychologist and Advice Columnist

Dr. Joyce Brothers has given sound advice to millions of people on the connection between mind and body in the quest for good health.

“Healthy people take wellness for granted, no matter what their age, but you can't underestimate the seriousness of influenza. Annual immunization is important,” Dr. Brothers stresses. “The recovery from influenza can drain a person in ways beyond the physical.”

Dr. Brothers has always been a strong advocate of personal empowerment.

“For years, I've been giving people advice on how to live happier, healthier lives, and I've always said there are many things in life that are beyond our control. But there are some things we can help control—like getting immunized each year to help prevent influenza.”

Dr. Brothers firmly believes that influenza vaccinations are critical for families, because they help keep parents at work and kids at school. An active and healthy lifestyle, even during the tough winter months, is important for maintaining good health year-round.

“When it comes to influenza, the best advice I've got is to get immunized each and every year.”
