As the leaves begin to change, and the weather turns cooler (not today though!), it is time to start thinking about how to keep illness out of our homes. The flu is one of the most common illnesses that come around each year. Read on to learn more about early flu prevention and how to keep your family healthy this Fall season.
Healthy Tip Tuesday is brought to you in partnership with Trinity Health Systems.
The single best way to reduce the risk of seasonal flu and its potentially serious complications is to get vaccinated each year.
There are other good health habits we can follow:
- Avoiding people who are sick.
- Cover your mouth when you cough and/or sneeze.
- Stay home when you are not feeling well.
- Keep children home when they have a fever or are feeling ill.
- Washing your hands often can help stop the spread of germs.
All of these practices and reminders at home and school can help you and your family enjoy a healthy Fall!
