Say "boo" to the flu!

Flu season is here and we wanted to share some tips that may be helpful in keeping our Toler families healthy and safe. 

Personal hygiene 

  • Wash your hands with soap and water often! Proper hand hygiene is the first step in preventing illnesses. 
  • Avoid touching your eyes, mouth, and nose.
  • Cover your coughs and sneezes with your elbow, not your hand.

Vaccination

  • The flu vaccine is safe and effective. 
  • It may take up to two weeks from immunization to be fully protected from the flu.

Strengthen your immune system

  • Drink plenty of water daily to stay hydrated.
  • Eat a well balanced, nutritious diet to get important vitamins and minerals. 
  • Consider taking a daily multivitamin if needed.
  • Aim for at least 8 hours of sleep per night. 
  • Exercise regularly.
