Physician offers tips to avoid the flu in face of lack of vaccinations.
2004 NOV 3 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- In response to news of a flu vaccine shortage, public health officials urge younger, healthier individuals to forgo vaccines. The challenge now is to educate the public on other ways to avoid the flu, according to Dr. Michele Bachhuber, Internal Medicine Specialist at Marshfield Clinic in Marshfield, Wisconsin.
"The best ways to avoid the flu are common-sense measures, but they're often not put into practice. Simple things like washing your hands and using a tissue when you sneeze or cough can really make a difference when it comes to flu prevention," Bachhuber said.
Bachhuber offers the following advice:
-Wash your hands frequently and thoroughly, especially if you come in to contact with common areas such as doorknobs, telephones, public restrooms, automated teller machines and elevator buttons.
-Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth.
-Get plenty of rest. Overdoing it can result in a weakened immune system.
-Use disposable tissues instead of handkerchiefs to avoid spreading
