It’s time to talk flu prevention!
Did you get your flu shot yet? Well you had better get on the ball as three accounts I visited last week had people out with the flu already, and it’s a nasty one this year!
The good news is the vaccine they have this year will actually work! Yay! I promptly went and got my flu shot last weekend – I hate being sick! And with it being flu season again, it’s even more important to stock up on hand sanitizer and sanitizing wet wipes.
I found this great article that speaks to how flu vaccines & hand hygiene are keys to preventing infection…
From Cleanlink News:
Flu Vaccine And Hand Hygiene Are Key To Preventing Infection
Health professionals and organizations are encouraging the public to take preventative measures to decrease the spread of illness during cold and flu season. In fact, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends “3 Actions to Fight the Flu:
- Take the time to get a flu vaccine,
- Take everyday preventative actions, including washing your hands with soap and water and if soap and water is not available use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer, and
- Take flu antiviral drugs if your doctor prescribes them.
