🩺 CDC Seasonal Update

According to The Washington Post, common colds, COVID, Flu, and RSV are keeping kids out of school and parents are missing work in record numbers as a new round of viral infections run through families. These things are colliding with day care and school staffing shortages to create many unprecedented challenges for parents and teachers.

The CDC is encouraging everyone who is eligible to receive their COVID booster and Flu shot to get them ASAP. While the Flu and RSV are circulating at high levels, COVID is picking up and putting a strain on hospital ER departments. Wearing masks is highly recommended too. It is the best precaution people can take to stay well and reduce their chances of catching and/or spreading germs over the holiday season.
