We have begun to see cases of the flu at Student Health.  To prevent the flu:

Get vaccinated

• Seasonal flu vaccination is strongly recommended; you can get the vaccine at Student Health.
  
• Check out CDC's webpage to learn more about the vaccine and the flu.
  

Hygiene practices

• Frequent hand washing with soap and water (scrub for 20 seconds!)
  
• Watch the CDC video on hand washing
• Carry alcohol based hand sanitizer containing at least 60% alcohol for times when soap and water are not available
  
• Cover cough/sneeze with tissue or upper arm.
  
• Avoid touching eyes, mouth or nose. Germs spread this way.
  
• Open and close doors/knobs wtih tissue/towels.
  
• Try to avoid contact with sick people.
