Challenge of the Month: Get A Flu Shot
Whether it be the scheduled Rowan County employee flu clinic, your doctor's office, or a convenience care center, getting vaccinated is a great first step to decrease your chances of the flu.
Everyday prevention actions include:
- Wash your hands with soap and water often.
- Routinely clean frequency touched objects and surfaces, such as doorknobs and phones to remove germs.
- If you feel sick while at work, go home as soon as possible.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
- Get 8 hours of quality sleep every night. Sleep deprivation weakens the immune system.
- Eat more whole foods in their natural form (ex: a whole orange instead of orange juice).
