Easy Steps for Flu Prevention:
  1. Get your family/employees vaccinated for seasonal flu and 2009 H1N1 flu when vaccines are available.


  2. Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. If you don’t have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your elbow or shoulder; not into your hands.


  3. Practice good hand hygiene by washing your hands often with soap and water, especially after coughing or sneezing. Alcohol-based hand cleaners are also effective.


  4. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. If you touch surfaces contaminated with the flu virus, you can get the flu if you touch your eyes, nose or mouth.


  5. Stay home if you or your child is sick for at least 24 hours after there is no longer a fever or signs of a fever (without the use of fever-reducing medicine). Keeping sick students/employees at home means that they keep their viruses to themselves rather than sharing them with others.
