Keep a high-quality, well-fitting mask (like a KN-95 or KF-94) handy. Masks have the greatest impact in higher-risk settings like public transit, airplanes, crowded indoor spaces, or poorly ventilated areas.  thosenerdygirls.org/healthy-… #HealthyHolidays

1/ If at higher risk of getting very sick from #flu or #COVID19: Make sure you are up-to-date with your #vaccines. Peak protection from vaccines takes around 2 weeks to ramp up.  Don’t forget to #mask strategically. #HealthyHolidays
