Protecting Your Child Against Flu

In addition to getting a flu vaccine for your child, there are other steps you can take to make sure your child is protected from the flu. Make sure you keep them away from anyone who is already sick to avoid them catching the germs too. You can also stay safe by covering your nose and mouth when you cough or sneeze and by washing your hands often. Disinfecting the surfaces in your home that are touched most often can also help.
