CDC's Holiday Safety Advice

Stay Safe this Holiday Season
During the upcoming holiday season, and all year, keep safety in mind whenever you’re on the road. Tips from CDC’s Injury Center on motor vehicle safety can help you protect yourself, your passengers, and your family and friends. Whether you’re headed around town, out of town, or out to celebrate, we wish you a safe holiday season.


CDC unveils healthy travel campaign
In response to concerns about the spread of the H1N1 influenza, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention this week launched a public awareness campaign on healthy traveling.
Being in close proximity to others – whether family members or fellow passengers on planes, trains or buses – can cause germs to spread quickly. To stay healthy on the road, CDC recommends:
  • Travel only when you are feeling well.
  • Get vaccinated for both the seasonal influenza and H1N1 if you are in a high-risk group.
  • Wash hands often.
  • Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue or your sleeve.
