Flu Information

The Department of Public Health has developed the brochure Flu: What You Can Do – Caring for People at Home as an informational resource to help residents care for themselves and their families without having to visit their health care provider.  

The brochure explains basic concepts such as:

• What the difference is between a cold and the flu
• How to keep from getting the flu
• How to care for someone who has the flu
• When a person should call the doctor, or seek immediate assistance through 911
