- If you think you have the flu, stay home. Don't go to work, school, or travel while you're ill. Isolate yourself.
- Cover your cough/sneeze using a tissue or cough/sneeze into your sleeve and not your hands. Discard used tissues.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand gel, especially if you've been coughing/sneezing.
- Cleanliness counts. Use household products which will kill the germs that spread influenza.
- Contact Health Services (314-246-6922) if you have flu-like symptoms (fever, cough, sore throat, headache, runny nose, body aches, chills, fatigue).
- The CDC is encouraging all students to receive the annual/seasonal flu vaccination, available now from Health Services, Walgreens, and other local health care providers.
