Let's talk about flu season!

Flu season lasts about 6 months each year, starting in the Fall and staying active through the Spring. While the shorthand 'flu' is commonly used, there are actually three common viruses circulating that create most of the viral respiratory illness that make us sick: Influenza, COVID-19 and RSV and all three have a vaccine that can minimize the impact of the illness. EHHD has vaccination clinics in the community; find the schedule at EHHD.org/VAX

Reduce your risk of food-borne illness.

Take steps to reduce the chance of illness from food. Wash hands with soap before starting & between each step in a recipe if handling different types of ingredients. Rinse produce before cutting or eating. Avoid cross-contamination: keep raw meat/fish away from ready-to-eat foods. Thoroughly cook meat/fish; & mind the 'danger zone' for holding foods.

Community Work in Action

EHHD works with partners to support programs and initiatives that promote the well-being of the community. Recently EHHD partnered with CT Mission of Mercy to bring a FREE dental clinic to EHHD. The clinic was manned almost exclusively by volunteers including the EHHD Medical Reserve Corps volunteers and could not have happened if not for the many EHHD community partners. Well over a 1000 people received free dental care! To see this amazing work in action click on the link.
