Glargg\u00a0<\/strong>spreads the flu wherever he goes because he never washes his hands. He loves to touch surfaces on the playground, in school and all over the house. Wash your hands often to help stay safe from the germs he leaves behind on things you touch.<\/p>\n

Likes:<\/strong> Giving out high-fives<\/p>\n

Dislikes:<\/strong> Soap<\/p>\n

Favorite Food:<\/strong> Anything he can get his hands on (no forks allowed!)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Dizzy<\/strong>\u00a0has a lot going on in her head. She always has a headache and a high fever of 102\u00ba. Her spikes are like radar to help search out anyone who isn\u2019t sick with the flu, so get plenty of rest plus the flu vaccine to help keep her away.<\/p>\n

Likes:<\/strong> Popping balloons with her spikes<\/p>\n

Dislikes:<\/strong> Hats (her spikes get in the way)<\/p>\n

Favorite Saying:<\/strong> Is it hot in here?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Achoo<\/strong>\u00a0loves to buzz around and sprinkle flu germs wherever he flies. Be careful because he can spread the flu across the classroom with a single cough or sneeze. So, cover your own coughs with your elbow and get the flu vaccine to help stay healthy.<\/p>\n

Likes:<\/strong> Telling knock-knock jokes<\/p>\n

Dislikes:<\/strong> Mosquitos<\/p>\n

Favorite Sport:<\/strong>\u00a0Basketball (GO DUBS!)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Gloober<\/strong>\u00a0feels lonely when he\u2019s the only one sniffling\u2014but when he hears sniffles all around, it\u2019s like music to his ears. If you have a runny nose or sore throat, chances are that he\u2019s not far behind. When you eat your fruits and vegetables (and get the flu vaccine) it helps keep that stuffy nose away.<\/p>\n

Likes:<\/strong> Blowing bubbles in his juice<\/p>\n

Dislikes:<\/strong> Peanuts<\/p>\n

Favorite Color:<\/strong> Green<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Dreb<\/strong>\u00a0usually has a hard time getting out of bed. He moves pretty slowly and complains about his body aches. So when Dreb\u2019s around, be sure to get the flu vaccine and spend plenty of time playing outside. It\u2019ll help you feel your best.<\/p>\n

Likes:<\/strong> Playing hide & seek (he mostly just hides)<\/p>\n
