Although
a flu shot is your best protection from the flu—there
are other good ways to help protect you and your loved
ones from the flu:
• Wash your hands OFTEN with soap and water or hand sanitizer to help protect
yourself from germs and viruses. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth.
• When coughing or sneezing, cover your mouth and nose with a tissue, your
sleeve, or your elbow.
• Stay healthy by eating healthy foods, drinking plenty of water, exercising
regularly, and getting plenty of rest. If you smoke, now is a perfect time to
stop.
• Keep up-to-date with your other immunizations and health measures.
• Stay home when you are sick to avoid spreading germs to co-workers and
friends. Keep children who are sick at home.
