Basic Cold and Flu Prevention

Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread this way.
Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze.
Cough or sneeze into your sleeve if you don’t have a tissue.
Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.
Wash your hands with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Hand sanitizes are also effective.
Disinfect frequently touched surfaces.
Avoid contact with sick people.
If you get sick, stay home from work or school except to seek medical care and limit contact with others.

Flu bombs are very effective. We sell them. There are also many DIY recipes for homemade flu bombs as well.

Who should get the flu vaccine?

Basically, everybody over the age of 6 months, except for those who have had a life-threatening reaction to a flu shot in the past, should get it. People with egg allergies will likely be able to receive a newer version of the flu vaccine, as described below.

It is especially important to get vaccinated if you are in a high-risk group for developing life-threatening complications from the flu. This includes

people over age 65
people who have heart failure and other cardiac conditions, or suffer from asthma, COPD, or other lung diseases
people who have Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, strokes, or other neurological problems
pregnant women and new mothers
residents of nursing homes and other long-term care facilities
people who have diabetes, weak immune systems, and chronic liver or kidney disease.

Most people who are hospitalized with influenza have one or more of these risk factors.

School restrooms can often be overlooked and taken for granted, but they are a vital part of the educational experience. From providing a safe and comfortable space for students to take care of their hygiene needs to create a sense of community, school restrooms play an important role in the daily lives of students. In this blog post, we'll discuss the importance of school restrooms, the challenges they face, and some ways to improve them. As mentioned, school restrooms are an essential part of a student's day. Not only do they serve a practical purpose, but they also help create a sense of community. By providing a safe space for students to take care of their needs, restrooms are an important part of fostering a sense of security. Unfortunately, school restrooms are often neglected and suffer from a lack of resources and maintenance. This can lead to dirty and even dangerous restrooms that can cause health problems for students. Often times students communicate the need to wait until they get home to use the restroom. This can be because the restrooms are dirty, lack of toilet tissue or paper towel, or fixtures are broken or inoperable. Fortunately, there are some simple ways to improve school restrooms and create a safe and comfortable environment for students. One way to improve the restroom experience is to be sure the restrooms are regularly cleaned and maintained. This includes ensuring that all facilities are in working order and that any issues are addressed in a timely manner. In addition, the restrooms should be stocked with adequate supplies, such as soap and toilet paper. Ultimately, school restrooms are an important part of the educational experience and should be given the attention they deserve. By implementing these simple steps, schools can create a safe and comfortable environment for their students.
