Flu Prevention
Follow these simple steps to prevent the flu:

- Keep your hands away from your face.
- Keep your distance from others when you are sick.
- Keep your distance if you are around someone else who is sick.
- Stay home if you are sick.
- Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when sneezing and coughing.
- If you don't have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your upper sleeve or elbow, not your hands.
- Be aware you can still spread germs up to 7 days after getting sick.
- Vaccinate—get your flu shot. Additionally, Pneumococcal vaccine is available and recommended for persons at increased risk for serious Pneumococcal infection, including those age 2 years or older with certain chronic medical conditions and all persons aged 65 years or older.
