The flu shot is your best defense against the flu!
Here are additional steps you can take to protect yourself from the flu and other viruses:
- Wash hands often with soap and water.
- Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer if soap and water aren’t available.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth whenever possible.
- Avoid crowds when the flu is most prevalent.
- Practice good health habits- get plenty of sleep, drink plenty of fluids, exercise regularly, eat a healthy, balanced diet.
You can also help prevent the spread of the flu and other winter illnesses by staying home if you do get sick.
