This week is International Infection Protection Week! We would like to remind everyone of the ways to prevent and fight the spread of infection especially during times like this. No matter where we are, germs exist. As we all know, they come in the form of bacteria and viruses. Preventing them from spreading an infection becomes a vital part of saving lives. Prevention is always our first line of defense when it comes to infection and hand-washing is one of the first steps to...ward prevention. We should always wash our hands: * After using the bathroom * Before and after preparing food * Before eating * After coughing, sneezing, or blowing your nose Another way to prevent infection is by getting the proper vaccinations. Vaccinations, or immunizations, prevent infections from bacteria or viruses from making us sick. In some cases, they can help us recover from an infection more quickly. Interested in learning more?
