Wash your hands often with soap and water. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer if you are not near a sink. Keep your hands away from your eyes, nose, and mouth. Stay home when you are sick, and do not return to school or work.<\/p>\n<p>Getting the flu shot is the single most important step to protect yourself and your loved ones against the flu.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dec. 7-13 was National Influenza Vaccination Week.
