Navigating the Cold, Flu, and COVID-19 Season: Tips for Staying Healthy
TL;DR Summary
As winter brings the usual cold and flu symptoms, the dominance of the new COVID-19 variant adds to the concern. With low vaccination rates, basic preventive measures like hand-washing, wearing masks, and increasing ventilation are crucial. Vaccination against COVID-19, flu, and RSV is recommended, especially for children and older adults. Parents of young children should prioritize self-care, as children are more susceptible to illnesses. Prompt testing for COVID-19 and flu is important to determine the need for specific medicines, and free home-based test-to-treat programs are available for uninsured individuals.
