"Stay Healthy this Holiday Season: Boost Your Immunity and Fight Off Sicknesses"
As the holiday season begins, concerns about catching respiratory viruses are on the rise. The fluctuating temperatures during winter months contribute to the spread of illnesses. Austin-Travis County EMS has switched to a stronger medication, dexamethasone, to treat patients more effectively. While family gatherings are common during holidays, precautions such as wearing masks, washing hands, and maintaining distance can help prevent the spread of sickness. Doctors emphasize the importance of protecting vulnerable individuals, as even minor illnesses can have severe consequences for immunocompromised individuals. Austin-Travis County EMS urges everyone to take precautions to ensure a safe Thanksgiving celebration.
