[Students] FLU Season Tips - Student Listserv

[Cathy G Haynsworth]

Officially, flu season runs from October through May. Though most flu
illnesses in Texas usually occur in December, January and February, flu
is unpredictable and can happen at any time. People should get
vaccinated now so that they're protected for this flu season.

 

FLU SEASON IS HERE. HERE'S WHAT YOU CAN DO.

 

1.	STAY INFORMED

TexasFlu.org is the DSHS site for flu information in Texas. Bookmark it.
Sign up to receive Twitter and e-mail notices when information is
posted. Dial 2-1-1 for flu information and vaccination locations.

 

2.	GET VACCINATED

Get a flu vaccination now. It's the best way to protect yourself and
others.

 

3.	STOP THE SPREAD

Wash your hands frequently. Cover your coughs and sneezes. Stay home if
you're sick. Have a plan to care for sick family members at home.

 

4.	VACCINE NOTICE

Everyone 6 months or older is encouraged to get a flu vaccination.
Protect yourself and those around you. Get vaccinated.
