Get an Annual Flu Shot
CDC recommends a
yearly flu vaccine as the first and most important step in protecting
against flu viruses.
Wash Hands Often
Washing hands
frequently protects against many common illnesses, such as the flu,
pink eye and even the common cold.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. Germs spread this
way.
Cover Coughs and Sneezes
Stop spreading germs!The best way to cover coughs and sneezes is to use a tissue or your sleeve.
Be sure to throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.
Stay Home When Sick
CDC recommends that
you stay home for at least 24 hours after your fever is gone except to
get medical care. (Your fever should be gone without the use of a
fever-reducing medicine.)
Try to avoid close contact with sick people. While sick, limit contact
with others as much as possible to keep from infecting them.
