Preventing the Flu


There were easily 100 parents with their children at the pediatrician’s office today as my daughter and I went to get her annual flu shot. This was our doctor’s first offering of the vaccine this year, and it was pretty clear that parents have a heightened concern about getting the shot this year.

As we waited for our turn, parents exchanged information about schools and the anxiety that several cases of swine flu in a nearby elementary school were causing. And whether you opt for the mist or the shot, the vaccine is a crucial way to give your child a better chance of staying healthy.

With so many people so close together, it was still hard to avoid sneezing and coughing from children who were there because they were sick. And whereas the shot helps you fight germs that have been ingested or inhaled, it doesn’t lessen the number of airborne germs to which you and your family are exposed.

But a medical grade HEPA air purifier is designed to eliminate bacteria and viruses from the air as small as .3 microns with 99.97% efficiency. Using an air cleaner that can remove the bacteria and viruses from the air before they have a chance to invade the body gives an increased level of protection not only during the flu season, but all during the year.

And because a high efficiency particle arresting (often shortened to HEPA) air purifier will also remove airborne pollutants such as dust, dust mites, mold and mildew spores, and pet dander, it also offers relief for those who suffer with chronic respiratory conditions such as asthma and allergies.

PurerAir.com offers the HealthMate Air Purifier that is designed to constantly work at keeping the air clean and healthy.
