The best way to prevent the flu is by getting a flu shot every year in the late summer or early 
fall, before flu season takes hold.

Stop the spread of all flu viruses with these simple precautions: 
Wash your hands often with soap and water — especially after you sneeze or cough, and before eating. 
Use an alcohol-based hand gel to clean your hands if you don’t have access to soap and water. Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze, and throw the tissue in the garbage. 
If you don’t have a tissue, cough or sneeze into the upper part of your sleeve. 
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth. 
Stay Home and Take Rest
Make Yourself As Comfortable As Possible
