Tis the Season…..
For sniffles, sneezes, coughs and more! Many viruses circulate during the winter months. Holiday gatherings and being indoors adds to the spread of viral illnesses. To protect your family:
· Keep up to date on vaccines.
· Stay home if you are sick.
· Wash your hands before eating, after using the bathroom, and frequently.
· Follow CDC guidelines on COVID testing.
