Flu Activity Continues—Prevention is Critical!
We still have more flu activity than in other years, and a new “wave” of flu is possible this season. Wash your hands, cover your coughs & sneezes, stay home when you’re sick and get vaccinated.
Step 1: Wash Hands
Wash hands frequently with soap and running water. Rub hands together for at least 20 seconds.
Step 2: Cover Coughs and Sneezes
Cover coughs and sneezes with the crook of your arm.
Step 3: Stay Home If You Are Sick
Stay home when you are sick. Do not go to work or school or anywhere else where you will spread your illness to others. Keep children home from school if they have any flu-like symptoms or fever.
Step 4: Get your Flu Shots
You need TWO (2) different flu shots to be protected this season! Supplies are limited, so act early and monitor this site for updates on clinics and vaccine availability.
- Get your SEASONAL flu shot now.

Additional Steps to Fight the Flu:
- Practice good health habits: eat nutritious food, drink water, exercise, and get plenty of sleep.
- Use alcohol-based hand sanitizers if soap and water are not available. Rub for 20 seconds until hands are dry.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.
- Discard tissues after use and wash your hands after coughing or sneezing.
- Sanitize common surfaces like doorknobs, keyboards, faucets, telephones and shopping cart handles.
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick. Open windows for fresh air.
