Frequent hand washing is one of the easiest measures you can take to reduce your chance of coming down with the flu. During the day we all touch dozens of surfaces that may have the flu virus on them: doorknobs, grocery cart handles, computer mouse and keyboards, cell phones and telephones-the list is endless.
Wash your hands with hot soapy water, dry with a paper towel and throw the towel away. When in public restrooms, be careful of the surfaces you touch. If the restroom has a hot air hand dryer use that instead of paper towels.
If soap and water isn’t available use an alcohol based hand sanitizer.

It is important to instruct children in these preventive measures as well. Children come in contact with more potential sources of germs, including flu viruses than adults do. Their immune systems aren’t as developed as adults so they get sick more often. Teaching your child to wash their hands often is one of the best ways to prevent them from becoming ill.
