Healthy Habits to Help Prevent Flu
Get vaccinated. Everyone 6 months of age and older should get a flu vaccine every season, especially people at high risk.
Avoid close contact. Avoid close contact with people who are sick. If you are sick, keep your distance from others.
Stay home when you are sick. Stay home from work, school, and errands when you are sick to prevent spreading your illness to others.
Cover your mouth and nose. Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing to prevent those around you from getting sick.
Clean your hands. Washing your hands often will help protect you from germs. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand rub.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs are often spread when a person touches something that is contaminated with germs and then touches his or her eyes, nose, or mouth.
Practice other good health habits. Clean frequently touched surfaces at home, work or school. Get plenty of sleep, be physically active, manage your stress, drink plenty of fluids, and eat nutritious food.
