季节性感冒(流感)

INFLUENZA, or the FLU, can cause mild to severe illness, with symptoms commonly including fever or feeling feverish or having chills, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, muscle or body aches, headaches, fatigue (tiredness), and vomiting and diarrhea. Flu viruses are highly contagious, spread from person to person mainly by tiny droplets from coughing, sneezing, or talking.


Immunization and vaccination information.

Vaccination is the best protection against getting the flu — it protects not only you but also limits the spread of flu to your loved ones and others. The flu can make even healthy people very sick and cause serious complications in children younger than 5, pregnant women, people 65 years and older, and people with certain chronic health conditions.

Flu vaccines are now available at many locations throughout our community, including healthcare provider offices, pharmacies, and clinics.

了解流感事实

Dr. Cynthia Leifer, Cornell Professor of Immunology, gives you the facts about the flu.


想战胜流感吗?以下是您可以做的: 

 
接种疫苗!

Everyone over 6 months old should be immunized. Call your healthcare provider or go to your local pharmacy to schedule your flu shot.  When you get vaccinated, you not only reduce your risk of getting the flu, you reduce the risk to those around you. That's because even if you don't have symptoms or feel sick, you may still be carrying the virus that could infect others.

 
打喷嚏时请遮住口鼻!

Sneeze in your sleeve! Keep your hands clean by directing your cough or sneeze to your sleeve inside your elbow.

 
洗手!

常用肥皂和水洗手,时间持续 20 秒(大约是唱两遍“生日快乐”歌的时间。)教导孩子这样洗手,并身体力行树立好榜样。

 
保持健康!

充分休息,营养饮食,坚持运动。

 
待在家中!

Flu easily spreads easily from person to person. If you’re sick, protect others by staying home and getting well. You’ll appreciate it when others do the same.
