Preventing the flu.
There are many things you can do to prevent getting sick from the flu:
- Stay home when you are sick.
- Keep sick kids home from daycare and school.
- Wear a mask inside public places.
- Ask others to wear a mask around children under 2 (who can't mask).
- Wash hands frequently with soap and water.
- Get your flu vaccine.
Where to get a flu vaccine.
Most pharmacies are listed on the
CDC's Flu Vaccine Finder. You can also ask your healthcare provider to get a flu shot or you can call the Washington County Health Care Resource line at 503-846-8851.
