We encourage all employees to get a flu vaccination this season to prevent getting and spreading the flu. OHR Occupational Medical Services (OMS) highly recommends the following groups receive a flu vaccination:
- High-risk individuals, as defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
- Individuals with long-term medical conditions (e.g., those affecting the heart, lungs, or kidneys)
- Health care workers and those that may come in constant contact with other high-risk persons
- Wash your hands – thoroughly and often. Be sure to wash your hands with soap and running water before eating, after using the restroom, and before touching your face. No soap and water? Use hand sanitizer.
- Cover your mouth when you sneeze. Use a disposable tissue to cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze and then dispose of the tissue in the trash. Don't put used tissues in your desk, purse or pockets, etc. Don’t have a tissue? Cough or sneeze into the crook of your elbow.
- Stay home if you’re sick. Do not come to work and spread your illness to others in your work area.
- Keep work areas and multi-use areas clean. Use gloves when wiping down keyboards, mouses and other high-use surfaces with commercial wipes. Use a paper towel to wipe any excess solution off the surface.
