Regular Flu Vs. H1N1 The H1N1 virus and regular flu are both strains of the influenza virus. H1N1 is causing a greater disease burden on individuals younger than 25 years of age than on older individuals. Other individuals at risk include those with asthma, diabetes, suppressed immune systems, heart disease, kidney disease, neurocognitive and neuromuscular disorders, and pregnancy.

Vaccines The annual flu shot will not adequately protect individuals from the H1N1 virus. H1N1 vaccines will be available in October. Both vaccines can be administered on the same day. Getting vaccinated is one of the best precautions you can take for flu prevention!

Who Should Get Vaccinated? Pregnant women Caregivers of children under 6 months of age Healthcare and emergency medical personnel Persons between the age of 6 months and 24 years of age Persons between the ages of 25 and 65 years old who are at an increased risk of H1N1 due to chronic health conditions

Flu Prevention Tips Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle Get plenty of sleep Be physically active Manage your stress Drink plenty of fluids Eat nutritious foods Avoid Touching Your Mouth, Nose, & Eyes Direct contact allows the virus to enter the body and cause infection

Flu Prevention Tips Wash Your Hands Wash multiple times a day with warm water and soap for at least 20 seconds Use a 60% alcohol-based hand sanitizer when soap and water are not available Keep Frequently Touched Surfaces Clean Doorknobs, telephone, remote control, elevator buttons, computer mouse, etc.

Don’t Spread the Flu If you feel like you have a flu-like illness, stay home! It is recommended that you stay home for at least 24 hours after your fever is gone. Stock up on cold medicine and supplies early in the flu season so you do not have to go out for them if you get sick. Cover your mouth with your elbow when you cough or sneeze or use a tissue.
