Elmo Fights Flu Encouraging Hygiene

This is the first of four Elmo swine flu videos that the government has released to help educate kids of all ages about the proper way to stay healthy. Elmo along with his Sesame Street pal Gordon give simple tips that if followed should help many people avoid catching the H1N1 swine flu.

The Elmo swine flu videos are part of the government's "all-hands-on deck" national preparedness and response strategy. These common-sense steps are very simple, but they are some of the best fighters against the spread of diseases.
