CDC.gov Features deliver actionable and timely health, safety and wellness messages. Here is a preview of the CDC.gov Health and Safety features of the
week:
Healthy Swimming Year-Round
Stay healthy and avoid recreational water illnesses (RWIs) when you swim or use the hot tub by following some simple steps.
Is Your Daughter Protected from Cervical Cancer?
Protect your daughter from cervical cancer by getting her the HPV vaccine. It takes 3 shots to complete the series, so make sure she gets them all to be protected.
Rabies is a dangerous virus that is found in the saliva of animals. It can infect and kill animals and humans. Every 10 minutes, someone dies from rabies. Even though anyone can get rabies, more than half of the people who get rabies are kids under the age of 15.
New Cases of Prostate Cancer by Race and Ethnicity
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men regardless of race or ethnicity, but it is more common in some racial and ethnic groups. Talk to your doctor about being screened for prostate cancer.
Newborn Screening Can Help Prevent Problems
Soon after birth, babies born in the United States are checked for certain medical conditions. Learn more about newborn screening.
Recognize and Prevent MRSA Infections
As kids head back to classrooms and sports venues, parents are encouraged to learn how to recognize and prevent skin infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a type of staph bacteria that is resistant to certain antibiotics.
Safe Youth. Safe Schools.
This fall, approximately 55.5 million students return to classrooms across the United States. While our nation's schools are expected to be safe havens for learning, unintentional injuries and even violence can occur. These events may disrupt the educational process and negatively affect the school and surrounding community.
CDC.gov feature articles are written by subject matter experts and health communicators, then edited to emphasize strong call-to-action messages and friendly, meaningful visuals. While most features are topic- or event-driven, some capture the full scope of CDC's work on cross-cutting topics such as staying healthy and safe over the holidays, sending kids back to school, or CDC's global programs and outreach. CDC Features may be syndicated to other Web sites at no cost. Learn more about Content Syndication.
