4 things every student needs to do to protect themselves from H1N1 (Swine flu) virus!

Whether you're sending your child to preschool or college, you're probably concerned about how to protect them from getting the H1N1 virus. The schools and colleges, and even the government, are setting up plans to minimize the impact this flu season will have on their students. Here's what your child can do to stay healthy amidst those infected with any kind of ailment.

1. Cough into your shoulder or shirt sleeves; don't cough into your hands.

2. Wash your hands before touching your eyes or mouth, and especially before handling food.

3. Stay away from people who are sick -- especially those who are coughing and/or sneezing.

4. Use Clorox-type wipes to disinfect doorknobs, computer keyboards, cell phones, and anything that you touch.
