Public health is everyone’s responsibility.

In addition to getting vaccinated, the best way to prevent illness is to practice tried and true public health mitigation measures, including:

• Getting vaccinated against other preventable diseases.
• Staying home when you are sick.
• Washing your hands frequently and for at least 20 seconds.
• Using hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol in the ingredients.
• Covering your cough or sneeze by using a tissue or your sleeve or elbow.
• Avoiding touching your eyes, nose and mouth.
• Wear a face mask in public indoor spaces (when you feel the need).
• Cleaning and disinfecting frequently touched objects and surfaces.
