Flu season is here. Here’s what you can do.

STAY INFORMED

TexasFlu.org is the DSHS site for flu information in Texas. Bookmark it. Sign up to receive Twitter and e-mail notices when information is posted. Dial 2-1-1 for flu advice.
GET SHOTS

Get an H1N1 flu vaccination now. Get a seasonal flu vaccination if still available in your community. Flu vaccinations are the best way to protect yourself and others.
STOP THE SPREAD

Wash hands frequently. Cover coughs and sneezes. Stay home if you’re sick. Have a plan to care for sick family members at home.

Vaccine notice

DSHS is encouraging everyone to get an H1N1 flu vaccination. Check with your usual health care provider, use the Flu Vaccine Locator service or dial 2-1-1 for vaccine availability in your community.
