The triple threat is here: FLU, RSV, and COVID are all circulating this season. But here's the good news—many of the same strategies protect against all three.

Your prevention toolkit:

💉Get vaccinated – Flu and COVID vaccines are available for eligible ages. Talk to your family doctor about what's right for your child.

🖐Master hand hygiene – 20 seconds with soap and water, especially before meals and after being out in public. Make it a game for little ones!

🏠Stay home when sick – This is huge. Keeping sick kids home stops the spread and helps them recover faster.

🛌Boost those immune systems – Prioritize sleep (10-12 hours for kids!), nutritious meals, plenty of water, and daily active play.

🤧Teach respiratory etiquette – Cough and sneeze into the elbow, not hands. It's a simple habit that makes a big difference.

🖥Keep high-touch surfaces clean – Door handles, light switches, tablets, computers and toys get touched constantly.

💨Fresh air matters – Open windows when possible and get outside daily, even in winter.

No parent can prevent every illness, and that's okay. But these steps can reduce how often your kids get sick and help your whole family stay healthier this season.
