H1N1 Prevention

To prevent the spread of flu:

Avoid contact with ill persons.
When you cough or sneeze, cover your nose and mouth with a tissue or your sleeve. If you do not have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your elbow or shoulder, not into your hands.
Avoid touching your eyes nose, or mouth and throw used tissues in a trash can; germs are spread this way. Following is a link on COVER YOUR COUGH that you can access and print. http://www.cdc.gov/flu/protect/pdf/covercough_hcp8-5x11.pdf
After you cough or sneeze, wash your hands with soap and water, or use an alcohol-based hand gel, which is available in some locations on campus.
Stay home if you have flu or flu-like symptoms for at least 24-hours after you no longer have a fever (100 degrees Fahrenheit, or 38 degrees Celsius), or signs of a fever.
Seek medical care if you are severely ill (such as having trouble breathing).
Talk with your health care provider about whether you should be vaccinated for seasonal flu and H1N1.
Do not go to work, school, or travel while ill.
