Who knows when the next wave of flu or colds will sweep in? Be prepared to turn germs away at the door with the help of students who wash their hands regularly and correctly!

Hand washing is one of the simplest ways to stop the spread of infection. With the threat of pandemic flu, hand washing has become extra important -- because at this point it's one of the most effective precautions available.

Educating students about hand washing is easier with flu- and cold-prevention materials from Channing Bete Company because these materials are:

research-based, accurate, and reviewed by experts prior to publication
crafted for appropriateness and appeal to their audiences
fun! They'll keep students engaged in learning how to dodge germs when healthy and keep germs from traveling when they're not.

Channing Bete Company® materials help keep communities a step ahead of a flu pandemic!

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has urged communities to prepare their citizens for the possibility of a flu pandemic.

Yet an Ipsos/AP poll shows that only 9% of the U.S. residents surveyed had taken any action to prepare for an outbreak.

Getting reliable, motivational information into your community at the earliest opportunity builds bridges from awareness to understanding to action.

Channing Bete Company pandemic flu materials help guarantee that community educators can take advantage of the next "teachable moment" -- be it a report of new cases of avian flu, news updates about vaccines, or a local health fair.

Ordering from Channing Bete Company ensures a supply of accurate, research-based materials that:

quickly boost awareness and thoroughly educate your community
promote a proactive approach to staying healthy
take steps to control infection when it strikes.
