What happens when the flu shot is not as effective as it used to be?
Last week reports indicated the flu -- Type A H3N2 -- can not be stopped by vaccination. It is only 36% effective against the virus. While experts suggests we continue to get the flu shot, Americans are on the hunt for other ways to keep healthy. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) still recommends getting the shot, because the vaccination is still somewhat effective (a child is 59% less likely to get the flu if she gets vaccinated, according to one expert who spoke with CNN. But make no mistake, washing hands is still a great protector against viruses. And if you are on the go -- and heading into public spaces where everyone wasn’t “raised right” and don’t wash their hands often -- then hand sanitizers are recommended for cleanliness while out and about.
Where this year’s vaccinations lack, hand sanitizers fill in the gap by giving an added layer of protection to hands. Imagine having the flu shot and keeping hands sanitized throughout the day and shielding yourself from viral foolishness. Don’t leave your health in the hands of a weak flu shot. Support the vaccine with constantly clean fingers.
Keep in mind, some hand sanitizers are known to cause ashiness due to the alcohol content. I know, who cares about being ashy when you care about clean hands? Well, we all should care! Ashy hands are dry and when the skin is dry, irritation is sure to occur. Now what? Grab a bottle of Tranquil Bliss hand sanitizers. http://chaoticblissfragrance.blogspot.com/2015/09/hand-sanitizer.html
My alcohol-free sanitizers are gentle on hands and will last longer than the regular comparison. Use Tranquil Bliss as often as you’d like since the hands will not turn dry. Essential oils and organic aloe vera help to make hands soft and clean at the same time.
