Chesterfield Health Department recommendations for preventing disease transmission are as follows:

• Use a tissue to cover your nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing; dispose of the tissue immediately and wash hands thoroughly.
• Frequently wash hands with soap and hot water for at least 20 seconds.
• Rinse and dry hands with a disposable towel and use the towel to turn off the faucet.
• Stay home from work or school for five to seven days if you have flu-like symptoms.
• Refrain from visiting a nursing home if you have flu-like symptoms.

Individuals with a serious allergy to eggs should not receive the flu shot.
