    •  Here's what you can do:

    GET IMMUNIZED!

    Everyone over 6 months old should be immunized. Call your physician, the health department or school nurse to find out where you can get a flu shot.

    SNEEZE IN YOUR SLEEVE!

    Cover your coughs and sneezes with a tissue. Throw the tissue in the trash, then wash your hands. Or, keep your hands clean by directing your cough or sneeze to your sleeve inside your elbow.

    STAY HEALTHY!

    Get plenty of rest, eat nutritious foods, stay physically active.

    WASH YOUR HANDS!

    Wash your hands frequently with soap and water for 20 seconds (about the time it takes to sing “Happy Birthday” twice.) Teach your children to do this and set a good example by doing it yourself.

    STAY HOME!

    Flu is easily spread from person to person. If you’re sick, protect others by staying home and getting well. You’ll appreciate it when others do the same.
