Tips to Protect Yourself from the Flu

Here are some other ways to keep from getting sick with the flu (and other illnesses, too) or giving the flu to other people:

• Wash your hands often with soap and water.

• Cough or sneeze into your elbow or sleeve—not into your hands.

• Teach children to wash their hands and cover their coughs and sneezes, too!

• Stay away from someone who is coughing or sneezing.

• Keep your hands away from your nose, eyes, and mouth.

• Stay home if you are sick.

• Keep a child home if he or she is sick.
