When the H1N1 virus struck schools in New York City last April, researchers studying the outbreak found that having a family discussion about how to avoid the disease significantly reduced the risk of an infected student passing swine flu along to a family member.
A recent study shows those findings, suggesting that ample preparation and education are the best tools to stave off an infection, especially during the early stages of flu season before vaccines are available. Learn more about the findings at the Science Blog.
