Easy Tips to Avoid the Flu
January 28th, 2013
Here are some easy tips to follow to help avoid getting or spreading the flu this season:
Get vaccinated against the flu. While flu vaccines aren’t 100% perfect, not getting one provides no protection at all.
Cover your cough and your sneezes, avoid touching your face.
Wash your hands with soap and water before eating.
Sick? Stay home from work or school. If your child is sick, keep them home from daycare or school.
