With winter approaching, Vermont health officials are encouraging everyone to take steps to protect themselves, their families, and their communities from flu, COVID-19 and RSV – including getting vaccinated. www.HealthVermont.gov/StayHealthy

Flu and COVID don’t take a holiday. Everyone 6 months and older can protect themselves by getting vaccinated this season. RSV immunizations are available for infants, pregnant people, and older adults. These can reduce your risk of serious illness — and if you do get sick, symptoms may be milder and shorter. Plus, no one has time to be sick. We've got holidays to celebrate!

If your doctor has told you you’re at risk of diabetes, you’re not alone. More than 1 in 3 American adults have a condition called prediabetes. This means their blood sugar levels are too high, but not yet high enough for a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes.
Knowing you’re at risk means you can take steps to help prevent diabetes and other serious health problems like heart disease and Dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease. Sign up today for this FREE, online class: https://bit.ly/3X3m6ER
