    Influenza (Flu)

    Vaccination is Not the Only Way to Help Prevent Influenza

    You can still protect yourself and others from influenza even if you are unable to receive a vaccine this influenza season. These simple actions can stop the spread of germs and help protect you and others from getting sick:

    • Respiratory Etiquette – Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing. You will prevent others from catching your illness.
    • Hand Hygiene – Wash your hands often, especially after coughing or sneezing. Alcohol based hand wipes and gel sanitizers also work well.
    • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth. Sometimes germs are spread when a person touches a contaminated surface and then touches his or her eyes, nose or mouth.
    • Stay home when you are sick. This will prevent others from catching your illness.
    • Remind your children to practice healthy habits too.

    Other good habits that will help you stay healthy

    • Get plenty of sleep
    • Engage in physical activity
    • Manage stress
    • Eat healthy food
    • Drink plenty of water

    Healthy Habits Stop Germs at Home, Work, and School!
