Do your part to prevent spreading the flu
- Get a flu shot.
- Cover your cough with a tissue or your sleeve.
- Don’t go to work sick and don’t drop off a sick child at a child care facility or school, where infections can spread quickly.
- Wash your hands often and keep your hands away from your face.
