Follow These Tips to Stay Healthy This March
Stay Flu-Free!
Unfortunately the flu has yet to flee, and everyone must take appropriate measures to avoid catching the influenza virus and spreading it. The flu can linger into April, and our pharmacists see cases pop up annually.
- Keep washing your hands
- Give your phone a wipe-down now on a regular basis
- If you are feeling under the weather, stay home!
- If you can’t stay home, please wear a mask when outdoors
If you haven’t grabbed a flu shot or Covid19 vaccine yet, it’s not too late. Don’t wait until you wake up wondering if that scratchy throat is a cold or something more, skip the walk-in clinic wait. Especially if you are an older adult, have a young child, or a pre-existing condition! Don’t delay another second and book a same-day chat with one of our pharmacists. We can assess your symptoms and, in many cases, get you a prescription right here.
Keep Your Eyes Safe!
The wind this winter has been blustery, between the salt dust from the roads and the literal grit in the air, our eyes can become irritated, scratchy, and red. Irritated eyes should not be rubbed, or small particles may cause a scratch on the eye itself. Wearing sunglasses is one small way you can keep reduce the possibility of irritants blowing into your eyes.
Above all, remember that a Shorewell pharmacists can help you quickly find a lubricating or soothing eye drop that will provide relief for your sore eyes.
