What Is Influenza A?
8. Prevention
One of the most effective ways to be safe from type A influenza is to get a vaccination. Although effective, it is still not 100% perfect, and there are things we can do to help further prevent the spread of the virus. One of these is to wash your hands regularly, and this will be even more effective if you use hand sanitizers and soapy water.
You can also help to prevent the disease by covering your mouth when you cough or sneeze. Sick people should also do what they can to isolate themselves from other people as much as possible. You should also try and keep your distance from other people who appear to be ill.
