Preventing The Flu
Stay healthy this season: Free flu vaccination is still available
The single best way to prevent seasonal flu is to get vaccinated. In addition, you can follow these simple tips to stop the spread of germs – including flu viruses:
- Wash your hands frequently and avoid touching your face
- Cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing
- Listen to your body and visit a healthcare provider if not feeling well
To maintain a healthy lifestyle:
Consume at least eight glasses of water every day. It is also important to get enough sleep and manage your stress. Eat a balanced diet – with 5-9 servings of fruit and vegetables, and maintain a moderate exercise programme.
And remember – Clean Hands Save Lives
- Good handwashing takes 20 seconds
- Use both soap and water to properly remove germs
- Clean your hands and all your fingers
- Always wash hands before eating, and after coughing, sneezing, spending time outside, touching animals, or using the bathroom
- Getting the flu vaccination is free for all employees and contractors. For those with Vitality membership, the vaccine can be logged for Vitality points
To get your vaccine, visit the Anglo Clinic on the 6th floor of 144 Oxford anytime between 08h00 and 16h00.
If you are going to Travel Doctor Corporate at Firestation Rosebank for medicals and travel consultations, you can also request the flu vaccine while there. For any queries, please contact the clinic on 011 638 2222 or email clinic.reception@angloamerican.com.
