  • There is no vaccine available right now to immunize against Novel H1N1 Virus or S-0IV flu, but the process of developing the vaccine has began
  • Tooele County Health Department does have antiviral medications in its arsenal against flu.
 
 
 

Personal activities:

  • Stay at home if you are sick - school, home, work, etc
  • Cover your nose and mouth when you cough or sneeze
  • Cough or sneeze into your clothes (elbow, arm pit) so germs will not enter the air
  • Wash your hands often - use soap and water - especially after you cough or sneeze
  • Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer if you can't wash with soap and water
  • Practice "Social Distancing" which means staying away crowds
  • Cough into your sleeve, (elbow, armpit) to prevent spreading
  • Stay home if you are sick
 
 
 

If you have not developed a "Family Plan" now is the time:

  • Store extra food for every member of the family - including pets
  • Store at least a gallon  of water per day for each family member - pets too
  • Have a family emergency plan and practice it - your family may get separated
  • Store extra medicine for all members of your family - pets included
  • Purchase a box of facemask's to use IF you are sick
  • Store extra hygiene products for all members of the family (shampoo, deodorant, body wash or soap, and other personal products)
