Cold and flu prevention tips
Try these simple steps:
Wash your hands
Try to avoid getting a cold or the flu by washing your hands regularly with soap. If there is no water, use an antiseptic hand sanitizer that contains alcohol.
Consider getting a flu shot
For additional protection, talk to your healthcare professional about getting a flu vaccine.
Take cover
Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Avoid close contact with others to avoid spreading your germs.
Disinfect solid surfaces
Disinfect solid surfaces at your work and home (for example, door knobs, TV remotes, and phones). Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
