(NAPSA)-It is time
to take special precautions to avoid the flu. Take the necessary steps
and share the idea with friends and family-instead of sharing the
illness.
The Alliance for
Affordable Services, an association dedicated to helping members live
better and save more, offers these tips to avoid the flu:
-
Cover your
mouth or use tissues when coughing or sneezing.
-
Wash hands on a
regular basis. Use an alcohol-based hand rub when soap and water are
not available.
-
Avoid close
contact with others. Stay home if you do not feel well.
-
Avoid touching
your eyes, nose and mouth.
-
Get a flu
vaccination each year.
Practicing good
health habits and keeping current with flu vaccinations aid in
preventing the flu virus.
