Have you gotten your flu shot yet? If you haven’t THIS is the time to get it.
With all the germs floating around out there and the scare of H1N1, I have been fortunate enough to have gotten my flu shot just last weekend. Thank you to Jenna from Love of Baby Online for taking this video of me getting my shot. What – you didn’t think we would video it? 
The nurse said I was a self healer, but I still had to ask for a Snoopy Bandaid. I was looking at one of the guys waiting in line. He was laughing that we were videoing it. Too funny!
Did the flu shot hurt? Not at all! I always tense up during them because I never know if they will sting or not. LOL
We, as moms always take care of our kids and families, but we rarely think about ourselves. Well, this year is the year that moms need to take that extra measure to protect our families, but also to take it upon ourselves to get our flu shot.
With kids, husbands, schools, friends, communities and employers depending on moms for so much, it’s more important than ever for moms to get vaccinated against seasonal flu this year. Plus, moms are the bridge between kids and the rest of the community, so it’s extra important they stay healthy and arm themselves for the ones they love.
This flu season, Walgreens has taken a leadership role in flu prevention. Seventy-five percent of Walgreens pharmacists are now certified immunizers, in-store flu shots for $24.99 (which may be covered by insurance plans as well as Medicare Part B).
Here are some helpful everyday tips to help prevent spreading the flu:
- Cover your mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze.
- Wash your hands with warm, soapy water for 10-15 seconds or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer, especially after you sneeze or cough.
- Keep living and work areas clean by using household disinfectants) and sanitize surfaces with bleach or alcohol.
- Avoid contact with others who are sick.
- If you are sick, stay home from work or school.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth.
Go here to find a Walgreens near you where you can get your flu shot!
