Flu Season is Here! :(

Pass this along to your clients and/or use it for your own families:

Flu season has come early this year, and is expected to last longer, too. It is more important than ever to make sure you're taking steps to protect your health. Recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) include:

*Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.
*Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hand cleaners are also effective.
*Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread this way.
*Try to avoid close contact with sick people.
*If you are sick with flu-like illness, CDC recommends that you stay home for at least 24 hours after your fever is gone except to get medical care or for other necessities. Keep away from others as much as possible to keep from making others sick.
*Be prepared in case you get sick and need to stay home for a week or so; a supply of over-the-counter medicines, alcohol-based hand rubs, tissues and other related items might could be useful and help avoid the need to make trips out in public while you are sick and contagious
*Looking to get your flu shot? Visit www.immunize-utah.org to find a Flu Vaccine Clinic near you.
