Wondering why you can't seem to find a seasonal or H1N1 flu vaccine anywhere? Doug McNeil's recent article in the New York Times explains why New York City residents are facing a severe flu vacicne shortage this season.
Prevention is your best defense!
Follow the common sense precautions listed below to reduce your chance of being infected with either seasonal flu or H1N1 flu this season.
• Always cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze with a tissue, or cough into shoulder or sleeve. Do not cough or sneeze into bare hands. Promptly throw tissue in trash.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water or alcohol-based cleaners, especially after you cough or sneeze.
• Avoid close contact with sick people.
Stay well!
