Developing an effective flu prevention program includes both education and proper surface disinfection. The most effective way to prevent the spread of germs is through frequent hand-washing. Everyone knows it, but not everyone does it. Not everyone knows how long an effective hand-washing session takes, either (usually about 30 seconds of dedicated scrubbing). Healthcare professionals are already well-equipped to handle this kind of education—but schools and campuses don’t always have measures in place to remind students and residents.
