Moms – we’re in the THICK of our busy season – {well let’s be real, there’s always something moms could be doing to keep them busy}. But I’m talking about those peak busy months – September, October, November and December or as I like to call them – the “BERS.” School’s really getting in gear, there’s holiday shopping and planning to do, end-of-the-year parties and recitals, basically ALL THE THINGS and all at once.
The last thing you need for you or your crew is for someone to get sick, and with all the running around, crowds and lack of sleep, it’s the perfect storm of conditions for germs to pounce and prey on even the healthiest immune systems.
To give yourself a bit of extra protection, be sure to get your flu shot and the COVID-19 vaccine or booster, whichever applies to you.
UTMB Health pediatrician and associate professor, Dr. Manuela Murray took some time recently to discuss the options and what trends they’re seeing in the region right now. Watch the video below to learn more.
