Take Proper Steps to Survive a Pandemic

How many will race for the vaccine depends partly on confidence in its supply
and it’s perceived safety. The last breakout requiring mass inoculations was
conducted against a different swine flu, in 1976.

 

The results were made quite grim by reports of a rare paralyzing condition,
Guillain-Barre syndrome.

 

What you do and How you Decide to prevent the Spread of the disease may be what
saves you or one of your loved ones. Here are some tips to Help:

 

1. Have your child vaccinated. The CDC recommends the flu vaccine for all
children ages six months and older. Try to get the vaccine as soon as it's
available, usually in early fall.

Your child will need two doses if she is six months to nine years old and is
getting the vaccine for the first time. The first dose should be given as early
in the flu season as possible, with the second one following about 28 days
later. Remember that it takes about two weeks after the second dose for flu
protection to begin.

 

2. Know if your child is at high risk. The CDC lists several conditions that
call for special precautions when it comes to the flu. Talk to your pediatrician
if your child has any of these health problems:

asthma                          chronic kidney disease

heart disease   HIV/AIDS

diabetes                        suppressed immune system

sickle cell anemia         long-term aspirin therapy

any condition that can reduce lung function

 

3. Teach proper hand washing. Next to getting a flu vaccine, washing your hands
often is probably the single best way to prevent the flu. Teach your kids how to
do it right: Wash your hands thoroughly with warm soap and water for 20 seconds
(that's long enough to sing "Happy Birthday" through twice). Rinse and, in
public restrooms, turn the faucet off with a paper towel. Remind children to
wash their hands as soon as they come home from school or daycare, before they
eat, and after every trip to the bathroom. Pack an alcohol-based hand sanitizer
in their backpack for times when soap and water isn't available, and remind them
to use it often. The school should keep a good supply on hand, too.

 

4. Cover coughs and sneezes. People most often catch the flu through "droplet
spread"—the stuff that comes flying out of your nose and mouth when you cough or
sneeze. Teach your child to cover his nose and mouth with a tissue (or the crook
of his elbow, if a tissue's not handy) when he coughs or sneezes, and then throw
the tissue away and wash his hands.

 

5. It's OK not to share. Flu germs can live on hard surfaces up to two hours or
longer. Remind your child not to share food or dishes with friends, and check
with the school or daycare to see that toys and other frequently handled
surfaces—including desks and computer keyboards—are cleaned daily.

 

6. Keep your child home if she's sick. Flu symptoms in children include fever,
chills, muscle aches, tiredness, a dry cough, sore throat, and sometimes nausea.
To keep the flu from spreading, you should wait 24 hours after your child's
fever is gone before letting her return to school.

 

7 Ways to Flu-Proof Your Home

It happens all the time: one family member gets the flu, and before you know it
everyone else has it, too. According to the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), flu germs can spread even before symptoms appear, and you can
infect others up to a week after you first become sick.

 

But by practicing a few simple rules at home, you can help keep your family well
and prevent the flu from spreading. Here's what to do:

Get vaccinated. Health experts say it's the single most important thing you can
do to prevent the flu. There are two types of seasonal flu vaccine—the flu shot,
which is approved for people six months and older, including those who have
chronic health conditions; and the nasal spray vaccine, which is approved for
healthy people ages 2 to 49 and women under 50 who are not pregnant. Schedule
your family's vaccinations in the fall, preferably in October or November.

Cover coughs and sneezes. Flu germs are believed to spread through droplets from
the mouth and nose. Use a tissue to cover your mouth and nose when you cough and
sneeze and throw it away afterward; if there's no tissue handy, cough or sneeze
into the crook of your elbow. Help your kids practice, too.

Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth. Experts say flu germs can live up to
two hours or longer on hard surfaces. That's why it's so easy to pick up flu
germs without knowing it—you touch an infected door knob or light switch, then
rub your eyes or bite your nails, and boom!—you're infected. Learning to keep
your hands away from your face can be tough, especially for children, but remind
them (and yourself) often.

Wash your hands often. Use soap and warm water and scrub for a good 20 seconds,
or long enough to sing "Happy Birthday" twice. Stock up on alcohol-based hand
sanitizers for areas where sinks aren't available. Remind kids to wash up each
time they use the bathroom, before they eat, and after they come home from
school or a play date. Remember to set a good example, too.

Limit contact. If someone in your family does get sick, they should stay home to
prevent the flu from spreading. Try to limit close contact as much as you can—
change sleeping arrangements, if possible, and avoid sharing washcloths, towels,
dishes, toys, and utensils.

Clean house. Flu germs and viruses love to lurk on kitchen sponges, dishcloths,
cutting boards, home desks, bathroom and kitchen floors, sinks, and toilets.
Clean and disinfect these hot spots regularly. You can microwave your kitchen
sponge for two minutes to zap germs—or better yet, throw it out.

If someone in your household has the flu, take special care in washing their
things. Wash dishes and silverware thoroughly by hand or in the dishwasher. You
don't have to do a sick person's laundry separately, but try to avoid scooping
up an armload of items and holding them close before washing them. Use laundry
soap and dry on a hot setting. Always wash your hands immediately after handling
dirty laundry.

Practice healthy habits. Don't forget the power of a healthy lifestyle to fight
off sickness. Getting plenty of sleep, eating well, drinking lots of fluids,
exercising, and managing stress can go far in keeping your family well this flu
season.
