How to Fight the Flu?

How can I protect myself and others from influenza?

  • Wash your hands frequently with soap and warm water. Hand sanitizer can also be used when soap and water are not readily available.
  • Cough or sneeze into your sleeve or cover your nose and mouth with a tissue to protect others from your germs.
  • Teach your children to use good coughing etiquette and the importance of washing their hands.
  • If you are ill, stay at home (for example, stay home from work or school and public gatherings).
  • Get a flu vaccine (shot) every year.
