Families Fighting Flu (FFF) is a non-profit organization
made up of parents who have all lost a child to seasonal
flu. FFF is dedicated to educating people about the
severity of influenza and the importance of vaccinating
children against the flu each year.

As an educator, your students’ well-being is top-of-mind.
With the recent H1N1 flu outbreak (initially called “swine
flu”), FFF is sharing some important steps that you can
take right now to help protect against the H1N1 flu.

Please help continue this mission by listening to and
sharing a very important PSA titled, “Flu Fighting Tips”
with the readers of [INSERT BLOG NAME HERE] by visiting
http://www.westglen.com/online/17695.mp3. This PSA reminds
listeners that, while there is no vaccine available yet to
fight the H1N1 flu, there are other steps they can take
right now to help protect themselves and their students
such as:

1. Covering your nose and mouth when you cough or
sneeze. You can even teach children to cough into their
elbows.
2. Stressing the importance of washing hands with
soap and water. Any alcohol-based hand cleansers are
effective as well.
3. Disinfecting frequently touched surfaces with an
appropriate bleach-based solution. As you know, germs can
spread by touching infected surfaces and then your face.
