It’s that time of year again – the leaves are falling and it
seems that everything comes in “pumpkin spice” flavor. And while many of us enjoy the cooler
temperatures, it also means that cold and flu season are right around the
corner!
Last week, FCPL was pleased to offer a flu vaccine
clinic for staff. We had a 22% turnout
of staff - thank you to all that participated!
The CDC reports
that the best way to reduce your risk from the seasonal flu is to get
vaccinated every year. We want to
encourage those that weren’t able to attend to talk with their doctor and
consider getting their flu (and COVID) vaccines to help stop the spread of
these contagious conditions.
In addition to cold & flu season, we’re still in the
midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s
been several weeks since our last known positive case. We
want to THANK YOU, our amazing staff and volunteers, for continuing to
take all recommended precautions to prevent the spread of illness by washing
your hands often, wearing masks, social distancing, and staying home if you’re
ill. We continue to encourage our
vaccinated and unvaccinated staff and volunteers to remain vigilant in
monitoring themselves for symptoms of COVID-19, the flu, and any other
contagious illness.
As a reminder, if you’ve had a recent exposure to someone
who is sick (even if you’re vaccinated) or if you develop contagious type
symptoms, stay home and contact your medical provider, your supervisor, and HR for advice before reporting to work.
Let’s finish strong this season. Stay well, read a good book, and
enjoy your favorite pumpkin spice treat!
