H1N1 Prevention

Prevent the Spread of Disease
Prevent the spread of disease – especially seasonal flu and the newer H1N1 Flu – by taking these basic steps:

• Keep Sick at Home
  Stay home when sick for at least 24 hours after there is no longer a fever without the use of fever reducing medicine.
• Wash Your Hands
  Make it a routine to wash your hands often with soap and water. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with your hands.
• Cover Your Cough
  Cough into your sleeve or into a tissue, not into your hands.
• Get Vaccinated
  Get your seasonal flu shot. The H1N1 vaccine is currently available to anyone 6 months and older who would like to receive it. The CDC has designated five priority groups who are recommended to receive the H1N1 Swine Flu vaccine.
