Sue Scheff: Families Fighting Flu


As a parent, you want to do everything in your power to protect your children. With the recent H1N1 flu outbreak (initially called “swine flu”), FFF is sharing some important steps that you can take right now to help protect you and your loved ones.


1. Covering your nose and mouth when you cough or sneeze. You can even teach your children to cough into their elbows.


2. Stressing the importance of washing hands often with soap and water. Any alcohol-based hand cleansers are effective as well.


3. Disinfecting frequently touched surfaces with an appropriate bleach-based solution. As you know, germs can spread by touching infected surfaces and then your eyes, nose or mouth.
