FLU SEASON UPDATE ALL STAFF, VOLUNTEERS and FAMILIES/GUESTS ARE ENCOURAGED NOT TO REPORT FOR

WORK OR VISIT EVERGREEN HAMLETS IF YOU HAVE A COUGH OR A FEVER. LETS KEEP

EVERYONE SAFE AND HEALTHY DURING THE FLU SEASON!

Flu Prevention:

Many people use the term Flu to refer to any illness caused by a virus, such as stomach flu or

the common cold. However, the influenza virus causes illness that tends to be more severe

than other viruses. The influenza virus can cause serious illness and even death in people with

certain chronic health conditions. Influenza and its complication of pneumonia remains the

leading annual preventable cause of death, particularly for those living in health care facilities

or with underlying health conditions.

About the Influenza/ Flu Vaccination:

• Is the best protection against influenza illness and effective way to help people stay healthy,

prevent illness, and even save lives.

• Doesn't protect against other viruses or bacteria that may cause colds or stomach illnesses

(the stomach flu).

• You cannot get influenza from a flu shot.

• The best way to protect against influenza is to get immunized every year.

• The virus changes (mutates) every year so that a new vaccine must be administered an-

nually.

• Even if you’re healthy...this season, get immunized against influenza and protect those

around you where you live, work and play.

• The seasonal influenza vaccine is safe and effective.

• Hand Washing is the most important method of reducing the spread of infection.

Cough Etiquette: Please cough into your sleeves. Coughing into your

hands or even using tissues can spread germs!

“Community Corner” provides educational monthly articles that offer important information and updates for all Families, Residents and Staff!

FUN CORNER

Facts About Remembrance Day: • Remembrance Day was initially

called “Armistice Day” and it originated to commemorate the end of World War I on November 11, 1918.

• The poppy tradition began when the noticeable red flower was seen growing over the graves of soldiers.

• Previously, Remembrance Day coincided with Thanksgiving Day. Many veterans and citizens, however, pushed for the days to be celebrated separately, and in 1931, Thanksgiving was moved to a different date.

• Members of the Canadian military have seen combat in both World Wars, the Korean War, the South African War, the Arab-Israeli Con-flict in 1974, and in Afghanistan.

The “Info. Corner” contains various articles, pictures, and updates from Residents and Staff at Evergreen Hamlets! If you wish to contribute, please inform the Recreation Department!
