Dial Complete Antibacterial Foaming Hand Wash, the #1 doctor-recommended brand, today announced it is working together with other leading brands to raise awareness and educate families to ‘Plan, Prepare and Defend’ against the H1N1 flu virus, seasonal flu and the common cold.
With their campaign to provide a complete “solution” for cold and flu season, the partners KLEENEX Anti-Viral* Facial Tissue, CLOROX Disinfecting Wipes, HANSEN’S Natural Juice, TRIAMINIC Cold/Cough and DIAL COMPLETE Hand Wash hope to help families stay on track for wellness this cold & flu season.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), up to 80 percent of infectious diseases, such as the flu, are spread through hands. “Hand washing is always important, but particularly after coughing, sneezing or blowing your nose, using the restroom, eating or preparing food, or touching an animal,“ says Eileen Lantier, RN, PhD and Associate Dean of Human Ecology at Syracuse University.
The “Plan. Prepare. Defend.” initiative provides helpful tips to further protect you and your family from spreading harmful germs at home, at school and in the community.
