Get your flu shot if you haven’t! Also, don’t forget to stay home if you are feeling sick to avoid others getting sick. I see a lot of people in public coughing and sneezing and potentially contaminating others. #pbh710

It’s National Influenza Vaccination Week (#NIVW)!

Remember: It's not too late to get vaccinated if you haven't yet. Flu vaccination is still a good idea through the holiday season and beyond. https://t.co/DuCogGlRzs

Beware of yet another recall! Thoroughly cooking meats does not always kill bacteria. #PBH710

@monetdugan I have read articles that state driving while tired can sometimes be as dangerous as drinking and driving. It is important to be alert and focused when on the roads. #PBH710

[Nicole Aucoin @NicoleA987]

I recently saw an article that mentioned the idea of taxing red meats. Do you think increasing the price will prevent consumers from purchasing red meat? Maybe the public needs to learn to have it in moderation :) #PBH710

@JinalChheda3 So important to bring this issue into the mind of Veterinarians as well. I definitely agree that pet owners should be free of drug use as well!

3 DAYS until Thanksgiving!

More than 46 million turkeys are eaten on Thanksgiving. Will yours pass the bacteria-free test? No pressure. Tips for a bacteria-free Thanksgiving here ↓

@EllyL72672299 Very important points made by the CDC. I get very frustrated when I see my family defrosting meat on the counter. Pathogens grow fastest at a room temperature and increases the risk of getting sick by so much! #PBH710

A very relatable and important message from the USDA. Cooking out for football is very fun but can become dangerous when food sits out for a while. Always bring the correct equipment to keep food at the proper serving and storage temperatures. #PBH710

Whether watching college or pro football this weekend, make sure you have your tailgating food safety essentials handy! Think you have everything you need? Check your prep here! https://t.co/U33UuRTIUm

I have been seeing a lot of news articles and reports regarding the FDA and the potential ban of Juuls and other vape products this week. Vaping/smoking rates among young adults increased over 200% since Juul became popular. What are your thoughts on this potential ban? #PBH710

[Nicole Aucoin @NicoleA987]

An important and festive message. Halloween season is also flu season and the start of the cold weather. Continue to stay active and eat right to avoid weight gain especially with Halloween candy around. Practice safe habits also when trick or treating as well! #PBH710

@AmandaRyanShea1 Celebrations taking place in the city are always very exciting, however, its extremely important to always prepare for the worst case scenario. #PBH710

This is so important! Leaving unused prescription medications in a home can enable someone to take advantage of them, causing these to be the gateway drug to heroin, and other harmful drugs. Learn where unused pills can be disposed of within the community. #PBH710

[HHS @HHSGov]

Nearly 80% of America’s new heroin users report misusing prescription opioids first. Don’t let unused pills become the first step down a deadly path for yourself or someone you love. Find a disposal site at https://t.co/E3t9YSrVNg #TakeBackDay #WednesdayWisdom

@EllyL72672299 A lot of parents have concerns that this vaccine supports sexual activity at younger ages. With education for both parents and children, they can learn that this vaccine is given at a young age, but is meant to keep them healthy for when they are in adulthood. #PBH710

[Nicole Aucoin @NicoleA987]

@tsong111 Couldn’t believe this! It’s important to continue standing by the women and men who are survivors. Many aspects of this situation are public health issues.

[Nicole Aucoin @NicoleA987]

I had a Dr appt after not feeling well for a bit. I’m covered under my parents insurance for now but it still isn’t covering a small but expensive procedure I need. Makes me think of some of the readings for this week and how the insured have very large out of pockets! #PBH710

[Nicole Aucoin @NicoleA987]

I feel like the flu shot has been advertised more and more the past few years. I am a first timer for the flu shot this year! #PBH710

[APHA @PublicHealth]

With 900K hospitalizations last year, getting vaccinated against the flu is especially important this year, says @NFIDvaccines and other health advocates: https://t.co/7VCUUpFt1x #FightFlu

[Nicole Aucoin @NicoleA987]

Socioeconomic status plays a major role in the physical and mental health of individuals. Children can have health concerns later in life due to being apart of a low income family. Economic inequality is a rising concern in the US. #PBH710
