You can take steps to help prevent catching the flu and spreading viruses that cause it.  Here are some tips:

Wash your hands – Cold and flu germs may be spread by indirect contact.

Do the elbow cough/sneeze – Instead of coughing or sneezing into your hand, try to remember to instead cover your face with your entire elbow.  Avoiding coughing or sneezing into your hands (or the open air) helps protect against the spread of illness-causing germs.  If you forget to do the elbow cough/sneeze (or see someone else forget), it’s a good idea to keep portable hand sanitizer handy to keep germs at bay if you can’t immediately wash your hands.

Disinfect commonly touched surfaces – Viruses that cause colds and flu can survive on surfaces for up to 72 hours

Wrap up soiled feminine hygiene products. The most responsible and respectful way to dispose of a tampon (and applicator) or pad is to wrap it in toilet paper, facial tissue, or scented
