You can do your best to prevent getting the flu but it's still possible to get it anyway.

Here's a few things you can do to help prevent getting the flu. 

Wash your hands. 

Wash your hands often, washing your hands often in warm water and soap can get rid of germs that might be on your hands.

Wash your hands in as hot as water as you can stand without burning your hands.

Get plenty of vitamins. 

Eat foods with plenty of Vitamin C. Vitamin C is good for your immune system. 

Get a flu shot.  

Getting a flu shot will help stop the germs from causing you to get the flu. 

Although you can still get the flu even with a flu shot it still helps to prevent the flu.
