TCC EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS :
FLU PREVENTION |
 |
“An ounce of PREVENTION is worth a pound of cure.”
Benjamin Franklin
ACTIONS YOU CAN TAKE:
- Practice good hand hygiene
CDC - Podcasts
- Wash your hands with soap and water or alcohol based hand gels.
- Lather up with soap for about 20 seconds – the time it takes to sing Happy Birthday (twice).
- Rinse your hands then drying your hands with air dryer or a disposable towel.
- Know the signs and symptoms of the flu.
- Talk to your health care provider about whether you should be vaccinated for seasonal flu.
ACTIONS TCC IS TAKING:
These are steps typical of what is expected for colleges or universities at this time.
- We are continuing to use the information resources of VDH and CDC, as well as those of the Virginia Department of Emergency Management (VDEM) and each of the localities we serve.
- Hand-sanitizing stations have been distributed across the college in public locations. These stations dispense an alcohol-based gel cleanser without the need to touch the station.
- TCC anticipates providing seasonal flu shots, as we have in previous years.
Should you have additional suggestions for consideration, please pass them on to the Emergency Preparedness Office.
