Seasonal Influenza Protection Tips

Seasonal Influenza Protection Tips
Influenza peaks during the fall and winter months. Remember, the best way to protect yourself and others is by practicing good health habits. These prevention recommendations include:

  • Wash your hands frequently using soap and warm water for 20 seconds, especially when you are in public places. Alcohol-based hands cleaners are also effective.

  • Cover your cough. Cough or sneeze into your upper sleeve, NOT your hand.


  • Stay home if you are sick. Explore options for working from home if they are available. If you have to go into the office then limit your exposure to others.


  • Get the flu vaccine—each year a special vaccine is made to protect from this year’s strain or flu virus. Vaccines will be offered at central sites as in the past or at your work place.


H1N1 (Swine) Flu:
H1N1 is spread the same way as the seasonal flu: from person–to–person, especially through an infected person coughing or sneezing. You may also catch it by touching things that have come in contact with the virus and then touching your mouth or nose. You cannot get H1N1 flu from eating pork.

The H1N1 vaccine requires two shots about three weeks apart to be effective. Regular seasonal flu vaccine should not be administered in conjunction with the H1N1 vaccine, so people will have to plan when they want to get which vaccine. Currently, there are no central inoculation sites for the H1N1 vaccine. You will need to contact your health care provider for vaccine information.

Preparedness
Due to the uncertainty about what the upcoming flu season might bring, the City of Tigard is developing a plan that will help the city continue to provide critical services during an influenza outbreak. All individuals, families, and businesses are encouraged to prepare themselves for the potential of an influenze outbreak. Normal "all-hazard" preparedness advocates being prepared for a minimum of 72 hours.
