Protect yourself against Influenza

Follow these tips to help prevent the spread of influenza:

Cover coughs and sneezes with your inner elbow or use a tissue and throw it in the bin straight away.
Wash your hands often with soap and water or use antibacterial hand sanitisers, especially after coughing or sneezing.
Clean surfaces and objects regularly such as doorknobs, keyboards, phones and toys.
Stay at home if you have influenza and limit your contact with other people.

Western Australians over six months can get a free influenza (flu) vaccine in May and June.
