What can I do to help avoid a flu pandemic?

Practice good health habits, including eating a balanced diet, exercising daily, and getting sufficient rest and take these common sense steps to stop the spread of germs:

Wash hands frequently with soap and water.
Cover coughs and sneezes with tissues.
Stay away from others as much as possible if you are sick.
Stay informed about pandemic influenza and be prepared to respond.

Consult http://www.pandemicflu.gov/ frequently for updates on national and international information on pandemic influenza.

Use national and local pandemic hot lines that will be established in the eventuality of a global influenza outbreak.

Listen to radio and television and read media stories about pandemic flu.

Pray that God will protect you, your family and loved ones!
