You can help prevent getting and spreading the flu by following three easy steps.

1. Get your flu vaccine. The vaccine for the H1N1 virus is included in the seasonal flu vaccine this year!

2. Keep your hands clean! Wash your hands with soap and water often.

3. Take everyday steps to prevent the spread of germs. Cover your nose and mouth when you cough or sneeze. Don’t touch your eyes, nose or mouth. Avoid contact with others when they or you are sick.
