Stomach Flu Prevention
Stomach flu begins when you swallow the stomach flu virus, so frequent hand washing is the best way to keep stomach flu viruses from getting
into your digestive system.
Certain foods, like shellfish harvested from contaminated water, are more likely to cause stomach flu. Drinking water that's contaminated can
also transmit stomach flu viruses.
It's extremely important to keep food preparation surfaces in your home clean and disinfected.
Clothing worn by someone who has stomach flu should be washed as soon as possible.
A stomach virus vaccine for the rotavirus strain of stomach flu virus has been licensed and is available. The rotavirus vaccine helps prevent
severe diarrhea in infants and young children.
