“Everyone 6 months and older should get a flu vaccine as soon as vaccine is available this fall. The single best way to prevent the flu is to get vaccinated each year but good health habits can also help protect against the flu”, stated David A. Papi, Director-Health Officer of the Middlesex County Public Health Department.

You can help reduce the spread of flu to yourself and others if you:

• Stay home when you are sick.
• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
• Clean your hands often.  (Keep alcohol-based hand sanitizers in your purse, car and backpack, when soap and water is not available)
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth as much as possible.
• Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze, and then throw away your used tissue.
• Get regular exercise, enough rest and eat healthy, balanced meals.
