Wherever I go, I see signs reminding me that I have to get a flu shot.
It used to be just the doctor, but now you can’t even go into a drugstore or grocery store without seeing the sign.
I try my best to avoid anyone who is sick and I make sure to wash my hands continually. I know that it is important to get the flu shot. There are some people who are at high risk and the shot helps many of us. I make sure to keep our home clean and I wash my hands if I touch anyone or touch anything in the stores. I have found that one of the best things I can do is to make sure my HVAC system is clean. No matter how much I clean, if my HVAC system has dirty air filters, my house is still dirty. Even though we use HEPA air filters, we still have an air purification system installed to help keep our air clean. Last month, my husband added a UV light into the air purifier. We understand that there are a lot of germs and bacteria in the air that we can’t get rid of. By taking that extra measure and keeping our homes clean and adding the extra air purification and UV light, makes us feel like we are helping. We are also being diligent about keeping our personal space cleaner to help avoid all of the new superbugs that are going around in the world. I feel we can’t depend on the doctors and the government to do everything for us. We need to take care of ourselves and our homes if we want to stay healthy.
