We’re always in one “season” or another.
We’re leaving hurricane season and now we’re getting in to flu season. Never seems to let up with going from one danger zone to the next, huh? The good thing is, we’ve labeled our “seasons” so we know to react accordingly.
For flu season, brush up on your interpersonal etiquette and remember to keep your distance from folks who are sneezing or coughing, and cover your own sneezes and coughs in the crook of your elbow. And if hand sanitizer is part of your defensive arsenal, go ahead and stock up on a little now.
In response to flu season “Google Local” has put together a map showing flu shot providers who have listed their services. Go to http://www.google.org/flushot to see who in your area is providing shots this season. While the debate continues over the need and/or effectiveness of flu shots, one thing remains true; if a flu shot is part of your safety plan, we want to be able to help you find one.
