Children, parents and staff:
Get a flu shot. Then take the following everyday healthy steps to prevent and reduce the spread of flu:
Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. If soap and water are not
available, use an alcohol-based hand rub. Wash hands and face when you get home from being out and
about – keep germs out of your home.
Drink plenty of water and eat right. Yes, good hydration and good nutrition are germ-busters.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread this way. Skin inside eyes and nose is very tender.
Do not rub eyes or pick nose, bite fingernails or chew on pencils.
Clean and disinfect surfaces or objects. Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces at home, work or
school, especially when someone is ill.
Stay home when you are sick. If possible, stay home from work, school, community activities and running
errands when you are sick. You will help prevent others from catching your illness. Avoid close contact with
people who are sick.
Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue away after use and
then wash your hands. If tissues are not available, cover your mouth and nose with your sleeve, not your
hand.
