Immunizations are being rolled out, but it will take time. As best we understand right now, the immunization will not stop from spreading the infection to others, even as it protects you from getting sick. It will still be necessary to wear masks in public and avoid crowds for some time. Washing hands frequently is also an important way to help stop the spread. 20 seconds of washing with soap and water is the best! Use alcohol based hand cleaner if washing is not available.<\/p>\n\t<div id=\"gap-168920384\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-168920384 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1954366810\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner image-cover dark\" style=\"padding-top:75%;\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/childrenshealing.org\/beta\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/09\/Copy-of-Copy-of-Untitled-Design-1.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/childrenshealing.org\/beta\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/09\/Copy-of-Copy-of-Untitled-Design-1.png 750w, https:\/\/childrenshealing.org\/beta\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/09\/Copy-of-Copy-of-Untitled-Design-1-400x400.png 400w, https:\/\/childrenshealing.org\/beta\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/09\/Copy-of-Copy-of-Untitled-Design-1-280x280.png 280w, https:\/\/childrenshealing.org\/beta\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/09\/Copy-of-Copy-of-Untitled-Design-1-510x510.png 510w, https:\/\/childrenshealing.org\/beta\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/09\/Copy-of-Copy-of-Untitled-Design-1-100x100.png 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1954366810 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div id=\"text-3844402996\" class=\"text\">\n\t\t\n<p><strong>photo taken pre COVID-19<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\n<style>\n#text-3844402996 {\n  font-size: 0.85rem;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div id=\"gap-54939357\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-54939357 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<blockquote><p>A good diet is part of staying healthy and helps our immune system work at its best.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>A good diet is part of staying healthy and helps our immune system work at its best.

Our gut is an important part of the immune system, and thrives on the fiber from natural foods and grains.<\/p>\n<p>I know exercise has been difficult with gyms and schools closing, but is still important.
