H1N1 Flu Prevention





I know you all have heard this before, but reminders always are good!
H1N1 Flu:

Good health habits help to minimize your chances of becoming ill from seasonal
and H1N1 flu. Some easy ways to protect yourself and your family:

* Get your seasonal flu shot.

* Cough or sneeze into your sleeve.

* Wash your hands often with soap and water,especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol based hand cleaners are also effective.

* Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs are spread this way.

* Try to avoid close contact with sick people.

* If you get sick with the flu, stay home from work or school and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them.

* If you have a fever, stay home until you have not had a fever for at least 24 hours.
