Washing your hands and washing them well is a great way to help stop the spread of disease, especially the flu.   In addition to a flu shot, it is recommended good hand washing, along with eating a well-balanced diet and getting enough rest, will help stop the spread of the flu.  Flu shots are still available locally and it’s not too late for anyone that hasn’t had one this winter, to get one.
