Prevent the Flu: Tips for Parents & Child Care Providers - HealthyChildren.org

Flu infections are highly contagious. The respiratory illness is caused by a virus. It spreads easily when children are in a group with other children such as in a child care center or family child care home. Taking the time to wash hands and clean and disinfect surfaces goes a long way toward keeping germs away. Parents and child care providers can do their part to stop germs by teaching and reminding young children to cough into your sleeve or arm or into a tissue. Be sure to dispose of the tissue and wash your hands. Flu is more dangerous than the common cold for children. It can lead to serious health conditions like pneumonia or bacterial infections. Each year many children are hospitalized and some die from the flu. Children and teens with chronic health conditions, such asthma, heart disease, diabetes and disorders of the brain or nervous system. are at high risk for flu complications.
