Arm Yourself Against Illness
Prepare for flu, COVID and RSV by protecting yourself and others as best you can. Get a vaccination, wash your hands often, and always cough or sneeze into a tissue or your elbow. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth, especially if your hands aren’t clean. Also, exercise, eat well, and get enough rest: all help your immune system better fight off illness.
