Tips to Avoid the Flu

During this year's flu season, protect yourself and your family by following these helpful tips:

Get a flu immunization. The single best way to prevent flu is to get immunized each year.
Cover your cough. Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing to prevent the spread of germs.
Wash your hands! Cleaning your hands often with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand cleanser will help protect you from getting sick.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth.

If you do become sick, try to stay home from work or school to help prevent others from catching your illness.
