As we head into the chilly month of February we hope you’re keeping warm and healthy this winter. We are well into the winter respiratory season and with it comes a heightened prevalence of RSV, flu, and COVID-19 nationwide. A concerning factor is the emergence of the new COVID-19 variant, JN.1, responsible for over 60% of cases this January, coupled with only 1 in 5 people receiving a COVID booster.
To support your well-being during this season and empower you with knowledge and practical tips, we wanted to share a valuable Fact Sheet from the National Resource Center for Refugees, Immigrants, and Migrants (NRC-RIM). It has some great tips to help you safeguard yourself against respiratory illnesses such as COVID-19, the flu, and RSV. This is a great resource that covers preventative measures, symptoms to watch out for, and important vaccine info. We hope you’ll give it a read and share it with friends and family!
