Precautions are taken by the Safeway Pharmacy for COVID-19:

• Hand hygiene practiced before and after immunizations, including changing gloves between patients.
• Monitoring of COVID transmission and prevalence in the local area to adapt PPE requirements if necessary.
• Maintaining social distancing throughout the immunization process.

Tips to Avoid the Flu

• Get a Flu Shot!
  The CDC recommends that people over the age of 6 months get an annual flu shot.
• Avoid close contact.
  Avoid close contact with people who are sick. When you are sick, avoid close contact with others to protect them from getting sick too.
• Stay home when you are sick.
  If possible, stay home from work, school, daycare, and errands when you are sick. You will help prevent others from catching your illness.
• Cover your mouth and nose.
  Use a tissue to cover your nose and mouth when coughing and sneezing, then drop it in the trash. If you don’t have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your upper sleeve rather than your hands.
• Wash your hands often.
  Washing your hands often will help protect you from germs. Use soap and water or an alcohol-based hand rub.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
  Sickness if often spread when a person touches something that is contaminated with germs and then touches his or her eyes, nose, or mouth.
