Swine Flu Prevention

With all the hype about the H1N1 Swine Flu Virus, it's only reasonable to be concerned about you and your family's health. Prevention starts with proper hygiene so make sure to wash your hands regularly, a tissue  when you sneeze and be conscious of who/what you touch. Outside of that look at some (or all) of the ideas and products listed below. 

Sanitizers

One of the most important preventive measures for any type of flu is proper sanitation throughout the day. Be sure to wash your hands regularly with an anti-bacterial soap.  For public situations where there may not be a sink available, carry hand sanitizer with you. Also try air sanitizer and sanitizing cleaner to get all those pesky germs off of dirty counters.

Vaccine

There is a Swine Flu vaccine available for most patients. However, if you have a severely compromised immune system or are looking to vaccinate a child under two, there may be extra precautions to take. The vaccine is normally administered in two ways, in a nasal spray called FluMist or a typical vaccine shot. The nasal spray is an easier method to hand out and is becoming the preferred option. If you don't like nasal sprays  in general, ask a physician for the shot.
