 Infection Prevention eNews Letter:
Flu Prevention in School!
Do they know about the T Zone?
Yes today is Global Handwashing Day!

Some say EVERYDAY should be Global Handwashing Day! 
Do You agree??

Yes, we still have NOT learned from the 1918 influenza pandemic that devastated entire communities and took an estimated 675,000 American lives.
  
They did not know the significance of the T Zone! And we still are NOT being trained about the role of the facial mucous membranes in ALL respiratory infections: public health, healthcare workers, teachers, students,  and many others! And we still do NOT talk about those respiratory mucous membranes that are SO critical in infection prevention for YOU!

 Most of the seasonal infections do not have a vaccine. How about the staff and students in your school or business? 
  
 True Flu Prevention Triad:
1. Do Not Touch the T Zone!
2. Handwash Regularly!
3. Don't hesitate to vaccinate!

Simple Solution to a Complex problem!

Remember there are MANY chronic diseases that can be initiated by viral infections; hypothyroid, Diabetes, Rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, MS, just to name a few.
 
In the  Science of Habit, Dr Jelena Vujcic discusses the two critical components around habit : first, creating a good habit and second, is sustaining the habit. However, sustaining the habit is the more difficult component to achieve!
An article about HCPs (physicians, nurses and others) going to work sick with ILI(influenza like illness) that do not have vaccines.
