Bird flu Prevention

What can I do to prevent avian flu?

If you plan to travel to an area where the avian flu has been recently detected (Cambodia, Indonesia, Thailand or Vietnam) do the following:

• Check with the Center for Disease Control for any travel warnings (www.cdc.gov/travel).
• Get a regular flu vaccination to protect yourself from the ordinary flu. If you become sick, it may decrease the chance of confusing ordinary flu with avian flu.
• Do not travel if you have a fever.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water. Use an alcohol-based hand rub if you are not near a sink. Wash your hands even if they don’t look dirty.
• Avoid direct contact with poultry on farms and in marketplaces. Do not eat undercooked poultry. Avoid touching surfaces that may have been contaminated with bird feces or secretions.
• The CDC and Kaiser Permanente are not recommending anti-viral medication for protection from a flu virus. If you become ill with an avian flu virus, your KP physician will prescribe for you the appropriate and available anti-viral medicine.
• Tell your physician right away if you become ill during travel or within 10 days of returning from one of the above countries and feel like you have the flu (fever, cough, sore throat, muscle aches).
• To avoid spreading the flu to others, cover your cough with a tissue or your elbow.
