It's back to school! As schools in our community welcome students back this week, we would like to take a minute to remind you about germs. As kids are in close contact with each other in school, they are at high risk for infection
... *Did you know:
*Influenza virus can live on hard surfaces for 2- 8 hours?
*Pertussis (whooping cough), can live on hard surfaces for several days?
The best way to help prevent infections is to practice good hand washing, covering your cough and staying home if you feel sick. Vaccination can also help reduce the risk of spreading disease to others.
If you or your child becomes sick, please feel free to contact our office with any questions or concerns. Our office is often able to schedule appointments quickly and conveniently to meet your needs.
