While calling in sick may sounds like a welcome day of rest, most people don't like feeling so ill they can't go to work. Colds, flu and other viruses can run through an office like wildfire. Close quarters in offices and cramped commuter conditions such as carpools, subways, busses and elevators are ideal for the transmission of the cold or influenza virus.
It's essential to keep healthy and productive in the workplace, but avoiding illness - especially colds and flu - can be impossible. Studies show that colds alone may be the cause of from 15 to 50 million lost workdays annually.
The flu vaccine can be a wise preventative measure but there is no vaccine for the cold. Despite a healthy lifestyle, even the most cautious person can succumb to "the common cold." When this happens, pharmacists and doctors recommend Cold-EEZE®.
