Learning to EXHALE: don't catch the flu this season!

Decrease your chances of getting the flu by first, getting your flu shot, and second, by adopting this three-step technique to help prevent the spread of influenza as well as other viral respiratory illnesses. Like cough etiquette (ie, covering your nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing) and hand washing, this easily implemented, noninvasive technique should be an additional component of respiratory hygiene. The three steps are exhale, look away, and walk away.
