There are no vaccines that can prevent Legionnaires' disease. Instead, the key to preventing Legionnaires' disease is to reduce the risk of Legionella growth and spread. Building owners and managers can do this by maintaining building water systems and implementing controls for Legionella.
How do you prevent Legionnaires disease at home?
- Always wear gloves.
- Wear a face mask to help avoid inhaling aerosols.
- Open bagged material with care to avoid inhaling airborne particles in the mix.
- Keep the mix damp while in use.
- Wash your hands thoroughly after use.
How can you prevent the spread of Legionella?
The most important way to prevent Legionnaires' disease is to maintain the water supply properly. That way the Legionella bacteria cannot grow and multiply. This means water systems should be periodically inspected and, if necessary, disinfected. Water features and fountains should be routinely cleaned.
