Tips to stay healthy this holiday season

Tips to stay healthy this holiday season MinuteClinic NP recommends packing a travel kit.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (QC Life) - MinuteClinic Nurse Practitioner Lindsey Ricci joins QC life to talk about staying healthy this holiday season.

She warns that holiday travel often brings a jump in viral infections, so being proactive matters: get your flu vaccine and pack a travel kit with essentials like over‑the‑counter cough and cold medicine (plus a chewable option for kids), bandages, and hand sanitizer.

Avoid touching your eyes, mouth, and nose—especially in high‑traffic places like airports and crowded stores—to reduce germ spread.

MinuteClinic is available in most states, and you can also request virtual visits online and often be seen within an hour. Go to www.cvs.com/minuteclinic to schedule a visit.
