What are the best ways to protect my family from the flu this season?
assistant
1. Get your flu shot as soon as possible.
2. Wash your hands often with soap and water, or use hand sanitizer when you cannot wash your hands.
3. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
4. Cover your coughs and sneezes with a tissue or your elbow.
5. Clean and disinfect frequently-touched surfaces such as doorknobs and keyboards.
6. If someone in your household has been exposed to the flu, they should stay home until 24 hours after their fever is gone without using fever-reducing medicine.
