Stay Flu-Free This Holiday Season Share time, not the flu virus, with your family this holiday season.
With the holiday season upon us, people are traveling, shopping, and gathering with their families in close quarters. All of this can lead to more exposure to germs. So how do you stay flu-free?
The best protection against the flu is to get the vaccine. But there are other ways to keep you and your family healthy this holiday season. Follow these simple steps to stop the spread of germs:
• Wash your hands often with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand rub.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth. Germs spread this way.
• Try to avoid close contact with sick people.
• Practice good health habits. Get plenty of sleep and exercise, manage your stress, drink plenty of fluids, and eat healthy food.
• Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.
Everybody can do their part to help prevent the spread of germs and protect themselves from the flu. Follow us on Twitter (@FluGov) for a different flu tip each Friday (#FluTips). |
