Flu Prevention Information
Get a flu shot
Flu season is upon us. We want you and your family to remain
healthy. To help prevent the spread of illness, remember the
following:
- Get the flu shot.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you
cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hand cleaners are also effective and
can be found throughout our facilities.
- Try to avoid close contact with people who are exhibiting
flu-like symptoms, including a fever of 100 degrees F or higher,
cough, sore throat, stuffy or runny nose, fatigue, body aches and
chills.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth to prevent germs from
spreading.
- Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you sneeze or
cough.
In addition, we are recommending that anyone planning on
visiting the hospital who is exhibiting flu-like symptoms either
postpone their visit until they are well or wear a mask, which we
can provide.
It is not too late to get vaccinated against the flu.
