Staying healthy during the holidays can be simple. Dr. Richard Schabas, the medical officer of health for Hastings and Prince Edward counties, has some advice. First, only drink alcohol in moderation and do not drink and drive. Secondly, Dr. Schabas says that this year’s Flu Shot was not “dead right,” as there was a change from when it was developed nine months ago. He recommends frequent hand washing, and covering your mouth when coughing or sneezing. The doctor adds that if you are feeling unwell, stay away from social gatherings, so as to not spread your illness.
