 Know the facts. Influenza is thought to spread mainly person-to-person through coughing or sneezing of infected people.
 Take everyday actions to stay healthy.
 Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze or into your sleeve if you do not have a tissue available. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.
 Wash your hands thoroughly and often with soap and water. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand rub.
 Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. Germs spread that way.
 Stay home if you get sick. CDC recommends that you stay home from work or school and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them.
 Get vaccinated. Vaccination is the best protection we have against flu.
