It's Up to You to Stop the Flu

Achoo!

Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. When you are done throw the tissue away. Clean your hands every time you cough or sneeze.

Come on! Is hand washing REALLY that important?

YES!! Germs are on everything. If you do not clean your hands, germs can get into your mouth, nose, eyes, cuts and Scrapes. They can even get into your food and make you sick. If you do not have soap and water, ask an adult for a throw-away hand wipe or gel sanitizer.

Some things you don't want to share

• Do not share food, spoons, forks, knives, drinking glasses, towels or
  other personal things with others. You may get their germs!
• Stay away from people who are sick.
• If you can, stay home when you are sick. Don’t play with your friends until you feel better.

Anything Else?

Get plenty of sleep, exercise, water and healthy food.
