We have designed this Web site to help you, your family and your community prepare for flu season.  I hope you will take the time to read through this information, share it with others and take action. You can make a difference and help keep Oregonians safe and healthy.

To protect your health, your family and community, we suggest a few simple things:

• Wash your hands;
• Cover your cough with something other than your hand;
• Stay home if you are sick;
• Stay healthy by quitting smoking if you are a smoker, eating a healthy diet and staying physically active;
• Get the seasonal flu vaccine
