As the spooky season kicks into high gear this weekend, the Alabama Department of Public Health (ADPH) recommends the following tips to help ensure everyone has a safe, fun time while making the rounds at Fall festivals, trunk-or-treats, parties, and the traditional door-to-door hunt for goodies.
Costumes
Pedestrian Safety
Safe Homes
Treats
Remember, in addition to being the spooky season, it is also flu season, and COVID-19 continues to be a concern. ADPH recommends everyone 6 months of age or older with rare exceptions get the flu vaccine before the end of October. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that everyone ages 6 months and older be up to date with COVID-19 vaccination. Information about COVID-19 and flu is available at alabamapublichealth.gov.
