Are You Ready: How to Keep Yourself Safe from H1N1

APIAHF coordinated the translation of (Chinese, Chamorro, Chuukese, Japanese, Korean, Marshallese, Samoan, Thai, Tongan, and Vietnamese) the Are You Ready fact sheet from the American Public Health Association to help our communities prepare themselves, for H1N1 pandemic flu. Share them with those you care about or pass them out in your community!

There are very simple ways to protect yourself from H1N1 flu. Wash your hands frequently, especially when you are in public places. Stay at least three feet away from anyone who is coughing or sneezing. If someone around you appears sick, avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth and any surfaces the sick person touches until you have a chance to wash your hands. If you are living with someone who has the H1N1 flu, it's important to protect yourself. Care for yourself by wearing a mask or a protective cloth over your mouth and nose. Wash your hands frequently and don't share dishes, towels or bed sheets with the sick person.
